It's come to my attention that you may be visiting this site from a great online resource over at mhmsmedia.wikispaces.com. Welcome!
You may want to know that this site is mostly for random links that I find lying around out there on the internet that have to do with art, education, technology, or anything in between. I tag most of my posts here so it's easy to find things later on.
If you want to see more involved content from me (or my podcasts), I would check out my main website over at AcademicAesthetic.com.
After hemming and hawing for far too long, I decided on the topic I want to present at MICCA. Here it is:
Free Online Resources
Blogs, podcasts, photos, movies ... there are many projects students can do to integrate technological literacy, but applications, servers, and bandwidth can get expensive.The purpose of this session is to introduce a variety of free and easy to use services that are available for you to use with your students.
Now granted, there's no guarantee that my proposal will be accepted. Last year I got lucky with my session on blogging, I know.
But I'm not sure I can afford to attend this year unless I'm a presenter, and I don't want to miss this opportunity to see David Warlick present the keynote.
The deadline to submit proposals is February 2nd, so I've got a while to go before I find out if I'm in or not.
I hate the waiting game.
I'm still looking for MICCA ideas, and now I have more time since PUWT '06 is over. As I was going through my neglected RSS feeds in an attempt to catch up I came across this:
The Social Web: Building Interactivity into Our Sites' Websites
I'm a fan of the stuff that Bud the Teacher has been doing, and this is no different. It's also very close to what I think I should be doing for MICCA.
Of course it's not a duplicate of what I want, but that's a good thing. If it was, then I would just be copying.
I'll be running workshops on PowerPoint design and blogging (& podcasting netcasting) at this weekend's Powering Up With Technology Conference, and I am looking forward to it, but I just got notice asking for presenters at this year's MICCA Convention and I don't want to do the same thing as last year.
So how about a workshop on two way teaching? The concept's been around for a while, but there are a lot of websites and other tools that can help make two way teaching a LOT easier.
Info:
K12 Online Conference Presentation on 2WT (The presentation that made me think this would be a good topic.)
Two Way Teaching Wiki (As of this posting it's very sparse, but could grow if it gets some help from others.)
