Kudos to the k21online 2009 Conference convenors * ETT* Kim Cofino Keynote



The k12online 2009 conference conveners have used free streaming services to provide professional development for teachers. Unless you participate in an event in this fashion, you cannot appreciate how well they have used technology to engage an audience of over 126 viewers. They used the ETT studio to permit the viewers to connect with each other via IRC chat and at the same time watch Kim’s prerecorded keynote address together using Ustream Tv. and sharing the desktop. This short video clip demonstrates the user experience. Sheila Adams used her Webcastacademy skills to stream the show.

The rest of the presentation can be found here.

K12 Online starts today with Keynote by Kim Cofino



I had the pleasure to listen to Kim’s presentation Going Global: Culture Shock, Convergence and the Future of Education. A terrific demonstration of the ways we can stagnate in our own culture and fail to awaken to the reality of a world which is diverse and proactive in forging a new road way in education. You will enjoy the comments of students and teachers around the world.

twitter for teachers



Today at www.live.classroom20.com I had the great pleasure to work with Rodd Lucier as he worked through this excellent presentation about teachers using twitter. You can listen to the recording of the narration and slide share at the Elluminate session here.

Then consider joining www.twitter4teachers.wetpaint.com to help write the book on twitter.

Thoughts on classroom blogging



When an excellent resource passes my way, I feel compelled to share it. In the middle of a conversation about using classroom blogs at at parent teacher interview, this link was dropped in by Cindy Zautcke. The link speaks for itself.
