The curtain’s down on the most-attended Symposium ever—270 people, a new record for us! The convening organizations thank all the partners, presenters, Marriott staff and everyone else who contributed to making the event a success. Next April, we’ll be somewhere in Southern California. Sign up here and you’ll be among the first to know exactly where and when!
The curtain went up today on the 2014 Symposium with 9 special workshops and more than 60 people attending the Open Educational Resources Summit. A few important points for all attendees:
Will you be in the hotel this afternoon? Net Texts invites everyone who is registered for the Symposium to the Open Educational Resources Open House in Inspire 1 from 4:45 to 6 PM. Enjoy complimentary hors’doeuvres and chat with OER enthusiasts. Plus, there’s a free drink ticket to the first 80 people in the door!
Don’t plan to leave early or you’ll miss a great closing keynote! Sylvia Martinez will speak on “The Maker Movement: What School Leaders Need to Know.” The Maker Movement is a global revolution celebrating creativity, ingenuity, problem-solving, and lifelong learning using modern tools and technology. Sylvia is co-author of Invent To Learn: Making, Tinkering, and Engineering the Classroom, a book that has been called the “bible of the classroom maker movement.” Sylvia comes to us courtesy of Construction Modern Knowledge. Read more about this exciting part of our program.

Note the little “print” icon at the top of the Program; it makes it easy to print a copy if you need one for your travel request or other purpose.
Registration will open shortly. In the meantime, here is the fee structure for this year to help with your planning:
