DeICE Webmaker

[Brendan Murphy]

I'm a bad webmaker because I didn't put the event up, but in my defense it
was just part of a small conference for educators. I like small conferences
and DeICE (Dedicated Illinois Computing Educators)
<https://plus.google.com/communities/111214424759220249574> was a lot of
fun, even for an introvert like me.

I led a session on Webmaking http://goo.gl/7WF3ix

My intention was to talk for 5 or 10 minutes and then let the audience
create something together. I talked too long and, surprisingly enough, some
of the educators didn’t have computers. What really happened is I spent
most of the 45 mintues talking and answering questions.

As usual I tried to put too much information into my presentation; Webmaker
tools, web literacies, badges, I did however focus myself long enough to
spend the bulk of my time talking about thimble and explaining how to do an
introductory lesson for elementary students.

"The question is not will he be a doctor, but what kind of doctor will he
be"
paraphrase from Harry Wong

"I can't define a hero. All I know is that it's someone you probably don't
notice, but when you find out what they did and how modestly they did it,
you can never shake off the feeling that you're cut from a lesser cloth,
and you find that braggarts suddenly offend you a great deal more than
usual."
―Admiral Wullf Yularen[src]


“You do not study mathematics because it helps you build a bridge. You
study mathematics because it is the poetry of the universe. Its beauty
transcends mere things.” [Jonathan David Farley, NY Times letter, 9/1/11]

Hello Brendan,

It's never too much when it comes to Webmaking. :)
You've already mentioned that most of the time was spent on answering
questions, so obviously it was interactive and people must've loved it.

Thanks lot for taking time to make this presentation! Just something
everyone would love with all the links at one place. I'm definitely going
to use this sometime.
Just a small suggestion, since Makerparty[1] is coming up, would be great
if you could add the link as well so that you could use cover that too in
your upcoming sessions.
But yes, I do understand that your intention was to talk for just 5 to 10
mins and that it isn't possible to cover everything within the limited time
:)
