[Opensource] Learn how easy it is to use OS Software and the Netbook software in classroom programs.

[Lisa Chadderton]

*Learn how easy it is to use Open Source Software and the Netbook software
in classroom programs.*

*Would you like to improve your skills with a range of software which you
and your students can use for learning in the classroom? *

*Some* Victorian students have been given powerful and compact netbooks to
take their learning beyond the classroom walls which allow them to learn
anywhere and anytime.

VITTA is keen to support teachers who are currently participating in these
trials, and those who are interested in Open Source Software by running an
Open Source Professional Learning Event. Meet Russell Blackie from the DEECD
who is a late guest speaker at the *Open for Education* day.

*Date: *Wednesday 10th June, 2009*
Time: *8:30am - 3:15pm*
Venue: *Forest Hill College, 178 -180 Mahoneys Rd, Burwood East, 3151 (Mel

This professional development day includes workshops of various best of
breed Open Source applications for education, as well as sessions by experts
about Open Source and open approaches to education.

online publishing, graphic design, animation and take home a complimentary
CD with Open Source software and documentation that can be freely
distributed.
