Project Communications: From Face-to-Face to Google Wave -- We'll briefly talk about the importance of project communication, especially as practiced by project managers, and how the art of communication (meeting & talking) and the science of communication (Google Wave) can work well together. Presenter: Ron McCandless, McGinley Consulting Group Teachers' Community -- edPlans.org is a teacher planning platform. K-12 teachers can access baked-in instructional programs or create their own courses...then share lessons and schedules with other teachers. We'll demonstrate the application, which is under active development and ready for feedback and suggestions. Presenter: David Robson, www.edplans.org After the Deadline: Proofreading for the Web -- After the Deadline is an open source proofreading system for use in web applications.
