Hi Folks!<div><br></div><div>While this local half-day conference is planned for and by educators, it has something of interest for everyone who is involved in technology in education. They have a great line-up of presentations... probably the best I have ever seen for a short conference like this one. </div>
<div><br></div><div>So... if you aren't busy this Saturday, you might want to take a trip on the I-405 to Vanowen and then west a few blocks to Mulholland Middle School. Here is a link to a map of the school location:</div>

Please share ideas you find with the olpc-SoCal list.</div>
