Pingfm tutorial.

I've been spending some time on the various microblogging places and really don't have time to go to all of them, so now, I've used pingfm to update them all. (There is a place to go to get the most recent invite beta code, that will be my next link.) This great tutorial got me started on pingfm so that it will update all of the services I use. Very nice tutorial.

Notes on the wiki presentation that I did with Adam Frey -- I'm saving all of these and also want to link to those who took the time to link and write about the sessions that I was a part of. Thank you for such a great outline!

Notes on the wiki workshop w/ Vicki Davis and Adam Frey

Class teacher is suspended for letting her students read freedom writers. I would love to have some opinions from other teachers.

This teacher was banned from using the freedom writers diary in her classroom and now has been suspended. I don't know all of the facts, however, I have to wonder why the school sent her to a Freedom Writers workshop and then wouldn't let her use the book. I do respect the desire to limit the profanity -- I wish that perhaps there was a explitive-free version of the book to handle this issue, however, it looks like this entire issue was mishandled. It grieves me as more issues like this seem to be happening in schools. I haven't read this book to have my own opinion, but would love to hear from some of you who have.

Excellent open source curriculum and tools.

Open source curriculum and spaces for creating programs in all subjects! From our speaker at necc.

Website shared by our keynoter for parents and children. Big network. I want to explore this. The person who founded this is Seymore Papert's grad student.

Cool page to work with children. Can also use with a personal report card and add teachers.

Reall cool tool that lets you live blog events. Ryan bretag used it it is so so cool.

Keynotes for k12online 2008

Keynotes for K12 online 2008 -- you have 16 days to submit your proposal. This is a wonderful conference and Julie and I are so excited to be keynoting the strand, "Kicking it up a notch" -- we're working hard when we meet at necc to "kick it up a notch" as we brainstorm on this keynote!

Cool links for teachers. Very nice.

Publishing from Google Docs to blogger. So, this is what you could do. The teacher has enabled the link to the blog in the teacher's account settings. Students and many others create a document and then share it with the teacher. After the document is as it needs to be, the teacher can then post to blogger from google docs automatically. This really gives you the best of wikis, blogs, and peer review as well as the ability to look at the revisions and who has contributed. This is something that I'm going to look at doing.

Information about k12 learning 2.0. This is an eXCELLENT best practice to follow. I am very impressed.

More virtual / wiki enabled professional development work going on. Wow!

A professional development course that is very fascinating. It is wiki centric and has assignments called "The 23 Things" that I find to be very conducive to learning. I've had a lot of interaction with these teachers and am very impressed with what they are learning.

This cool course is fascinating. I've been getting a lot of links titled "Thing 1" or "Thing 8" -- didn't know what it was and now I do. The 23 things is a fascinating way to teach teachers about these tools. Great resource for professional developers to look at.

Hashtag page for necc -- one of the tags that may be used.

For those of you who don't twitter but would like to follow what twitterers are saying about NECC -- this is one of the hashtags that may be used. To make this work for you, you must be following @hashtags and then use #necc in your title -- I like it sans date, but am finding some people using #necc08 and #necc2008. I'll probably use #necc to save tweetspace.

Great post on the use of hashtags and groups on twitter.

Great information on how hashtags and groups work-- I think those of us on twitter should follow @hashtags and then use #necc to find out whose at NECC - then no one is left out!
