Blog Juice for Educational Technology

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 have worked at several conferences over the past couple of months, that have attempted to extend their services into the blogosphere and other planes of Read/Write web activity. I know of several others who will be attempting to implement web 2.0 features in the near future.
So here are some of the things that […]

I’ll be back on the road later this week. I’ll first drop by the pre-conference day at NCAECT (North Carolina’s ISTE affiliate) and hang out for a while with friends before going over to the Charlotte airport for a flight down to Orlando, where I’ll do a general presentation called, “The New Web and […]

When I am presenting at a conference, and advance to a slide with a bulleted list, I want to get down on my knees and apologize to the audience. People are not there to process a list or even to read. They’re there to watch, listen, and learn. So it is rare that I include […]

I am truly sorry that it has taken me till now to write my report on CUE 2006. First of all, the conference came through with flying colors — fireworks, actually. The tech staff found me a lapel mic, and those tiny speakers actually put out an impressive sound, and proved to be […]

Jude2004 celebrated his 51st birthday yesterday. In his comment on Act like Natives, he (or she) claims to know more about technology than his students. He claims to be a native. Do I believe him? I sure do.
Yesterday I had the pleasure of presenting to nearly 200 school technology contact people […]

Sitting here in the Charlotte Airport, a conversation from the Duke CE Roundtable returned to me, as I plan for this week’s presentations about the Read/Write Web. Again, most of the attendees of that event were corporate educators with a handful of higher ed folks and me. Several of the corporate folks were […]

Enormous thanks to Kelly Dumont (The Educational Mac) for pointing me in the direction of The Savvy Technologist, a blog and podcast written and produced by Tim Wilson, in Minnesota. In his podcast, STP #8: A chat with the gang, Tim participates in a recorded discussion about Web 2.0 with Tim Lauer, and Will […]

I received quite a few comments, pingbacks, and even more e-mails regarding a recent entry, Four Reasons Why the Blogsphere Might Make a Better Professional Collaborative Environment than Discussion Forums. I’d like to present a scenario that seems like a potent intersection between the way that a school handles information, and the “new shape […]
