Community (CoLoCo) Opportunities to Help

In order to give FOSS and Ubuntu as much publicity at the TIE conference as possible, we are in need of volunteers. There are several ways in which you can participate.

I AM PLANNING TO ATTEND THE FOSS SESSION AND HELP

If you would like to lend a hand during the actual session on June 19, please add your name and contact info (launchpad page, email, etc) below including if you plan to stay for one or more days and whether or not you are interested in finding others to share the cost of lodging.

I CAN HELP DEVELOP LESSONS OR TUTORIALS OF SOFTWARE PACKAGES

Another way to help is to select an application that has education merit and develop a lesson and/or tutorial for participants to use during the session (stay tuned for an example).

Begin by selecting a content area and application (those listed are only suggestions - feel free to add others) and assign yourself to it. Once you have a lesson developed, add a link to the lesson. All lessons and tutorials will be collected later and developed into a coherent page.

To choose topics it can be helpful to review the Colorado State standards (learning objectives) for your subject areas. These are categorized by grade level at http://www.education-world.com/standards/state/co/index.shtml#fine

Pay close attention to the deadlines.

  • May 14: Assign yourself to an application(s)

  • May 28: Develop and publish your lesson(s) (your own wiki is fine for now)

  • June 4: All lessons tested and proofed (do not proof your own)

  • June 11: All lessons considered final and ready for the public
