NECC Day One Summary

I meant to do daily updates - good intentions... I am going to summerize each day separately. On Monday, I went to a session on the state of Open Source software. It was a panel and was pretty boring but I did find some interesting info. The idea of shifting budget money from commercial software over to teacher training sounds like a great strategy for a Catholic school. Went to a session about integration - talked about LoTi Levels. Was reminded of Wordle and got a good quote - "What gets measured gets improved." Best session of the day was by Leslie Fisher. She had a gadget class with lots of info on free software and great hardware. Be sure to look on her website www.lesliefisher.com.
