Educators
This weekend, July 30 and31, educators will have a chance to participate in a free educational conference. In a spirit of collaboration many members of this Ning site, as well as others, are coming together in an effort to offer their expertise on many educational topics and concerns.This is another Example of how Social Media is enabling our profession with tools for better communication and collaboration.
These presentations are being carried out using Elluminate rooms. They will allow participants to view the presentation, as well as see, and hear the presenter live. In addition participants may continually chat and backchannel with others. Any computer or internet-equipped mobile device will get you access, but if you wish to participate, you will need access to a mic. It is suggested that you get to the Elluminate site of your choice early for spaces are limited and you may want to adjust settings for your convenience. the process is simple, but it does take a little familiarization on the first encounter.
I am providing the Link for the site. Please go to the site and check out the offerings. This will be your chance to see, hear and talk with many of the passionate educators whose words you often read in tweets, posts, and journal articles. This is an exciting time for many educators.Visit the site. Pick and choose sessions of interest. select your choices and make up a schedule.Watch for tweets of participants and look for the Hashtag.
