My Notes from Kent Brooks Session:
Disruptive Innovation
What is disruptive innovation?
Newspaper media is finding itself left behind the times and many papers are closing business. http://newspaperdeathwatch.com
What are the reasons for this?
*Not fast enough
*Not up to date
*Not dynamic
We need to think about true disruptive innovation.
Where do you go when you want to learn?
*Google
*PLN
What is free and what is open source? There is a difference.
Moodle is a great aggregator and a great place to start.
Not all free is open source:
*Google Apps for Education
*Google Video
*You Tube
What is Open Source?
A definition of software that includes freely available access to source code, redistribution, modification and derived works
http://opensource.org
What is the Cost on Open Source?
There are still the coast of training, support and maintenance.
Free of “Vendor churn” - must upgrade or pay for latest version to gain functionality.
What are the HAZARDS of open source?
No more hazard than a marketed product.
Have you ever purchased a pay product simply to call an unmanned or knowledgeable support system? (help desk)
Often Open Source has a pool of people that have used the product and will serve as an online help desk for that product.
Where and How do I begin?
http://free.wosc.edu
Unlike some of the other software programs you have, you are free to make copies of these programs, or even the whole disc, and give them away to anyone you like — in fact, we encourage you to share!

Thanks so much for sharing this. Kent’s leadership on FOSS is really exemplary. I’d like to find more ways to share these ideas myself. I think the OER movement is one I need to learn much more about, and share/teach on every chance I can. We should have a K12online preso about OER next year I think!
Indeed we were in the same presentation :-). I really enjoyed hearing the strategies Higher Ed is using to cope with shrinking budgets and expanding expectations. While I cannot speak for anyone else, I can certainly say I am dealing with the same problems.
The other side of that is that I have really bought into the philosophy of open source. My students are working on a student-created wiki that will in effect be an open-source textbook, tailored to meet the needs of my own class. After OTA yesterday, I did some digging and found some great resources for that project, most of them as a result of this presentation. I’m excited about the possibilities of open source, not only in my classroom, but in K-12 as a whole. I do believe that open source won’t come looking for you, but it can be found if you put out a bit of effort.
Lots of specialists tell that loan aid people to live their own way, because they can feel free to buy needed things. Moreover, some banks give credit loan for young and old people.
