Blog Juice for Educational Technology

Julie Lindsay just posted on her blog, the list of NECC attendees who have registered as official volunteer bloggers. Link to Lindsey’s blog for the list.

This list arrived an hour ago from the Web Marketing Manager at ISTE, Barbara Hewick. It is a list of volunteer bloggers and podcasters for the NECC06 conference in […]

I’m way behind on this one, though just in time for NECC06.  I just ran into a March blog from the Cool Cat Teacher (Georgia educator, Vicki Davis) and it looks like great advice for educators learning to blog this summer.  This would make a fantastic Handout.

Ten habits of bloggers that win!

School’s out for most of us. Educators across the northern hemisphere are relaxing for the first time in months, looking forward to a month or a little more of R&R, sitting by the pool in sunglasses, or taking a vacation or a fact-finding tour of Paris, London, Tokyo, or some other exotic locale that […]

There are many ways that we might take NECC to new dimensions through its wireless access to the World Wide Web, especially version two of this digital space. But perhaps the simplest and most potent way is by blogging the sessions that you attend. So here are some steps and pointers for blogging […]

I wanted to double and triple check this before I blogged it, but it’s been confirmed from the very highest levels. NECC 2006, San Diego, will be wireless. All of the session rooms will be wireless with a hard wire Ethernet connection for presenters.
The NECC folks are also working with the San Diego […]

One month from now, I’ll be at NECC. Certainly the richest and deepest educational technology conference, probably in the world, NECC offers more to more people about new technologies in education than any other event, and it proves each year to be exhaustingly exhilarating experience — almost a high.
During most years the conference becomes […]

I woke this morning with rather more solid ground under my feet than usual, because I woke up thinking about the past. I’m a peculiar sort of edgeek, because, unlike so many ed tech’ers who came out of business education and math, I use to be a history teacher. But it makes sense […]

Yesterday, I was scanning through the Technology & Learning News for August 23, and ran across a story called Gadgets, Gadgets Everywhere.

Technology’s steady advance has made the challenge of controlling students’ use of electronic gadgets - cell phones, handheld video games, MP3 players - during school time ever more difficult.

It’s a lead into a story […]

The latest from the Apple Distinguished Educators Podcast, an interview between Barnaby Wasson’s and ISTE President, Kurt Steinhaus. First of all, I want to say that this is a wonderful service. The information infrastructure has expanded in many ways, mostly over the last few months, and we are beginning to see some amazing […]

Steve Dembo posted his latest podcast yesterday. With most educators on break now and taking some time off from edutech stuff, I am on the edge of my seat looking and waiting for new education programs. Steve’s latest is well worth the wait. In his easy style, yet thought-provoking way of speaking […]

Apple Distinguished Educator, Barnaby Wasson, interviewed CoSN Chair, Sheryl Abshire, while at NECC last week. Some time during the night, the podcast recording was posted as part of the NECC ADE Podcast. I highly recommend you listen to this important educator. The podcast web site is at:

..and the RSS address, for those […]

Last night, Gordon Dahlby posted the following message to the WWWEDU list. This is candy for me, and I am posting my response to the weblog.

Home from the NECC and doing more resting yesterday and today than anything else. I spent much of yesterday afternoon at the Apple Store in Durham getting the Ethernet port on my Mac fixed and having Brenda’s iBook serviced. My son and I scanned through NECC blog entries while waiting at the store […]
