May 2007 Archives

I have been invited to give a talk to the people in the Penn State Library. It was slated to be related to social tools, but I have opened it up a bit to focus on the platforms for digital expression available at PSU. I hope to give the group some background on who our students are and the kinds of things they are interested in.

Video of the presentation is available.

On Tuesday May 15, 2007 I will be the featured speaker at Maricopa's 20th Annual Teaching and Learning with Technology Conference. I will also be presenting a breakout session related to Web 2.0 and PSU. My featured talk, "Enabling the New Classroom Conversation" will focus on three main drivers in opening the classroom to new ways of extending learning.

The presentation is available as a PDF. Download.

I was invited to take part in a day long series of briefings to the Penn State Outreach Advisory Board focusing on the PSU World Campus. I have been asked to start the series of presentations this morning to lay out some of the challenges and opportunities we face as it relates to teaching and learning with technology.

I'll be doing my usual Web 2.0 thing, but with a slightly different slant this time -- I want them to be excited and interested in how emerging technologies are becoming more a part of everyday life and learning. I have attached the PDF of my slides.
