June 2007 Archives

On June 12th I will be co-presenting at the 10th Annual Penn State Web Conference with my colleague, Jim Leous. Jim and I co-presented last year as well and it was a blast. Our topic this year builds on where we left off last year ... this year we will take a look at the state of Web 2.0 in the Higher Education Enterprise 2.0 ... we've worked very hard at PSU to make progress in this space over the last year and this talk will bring some of the outcomes and lessons learned to bear.

On June 14, 2007 I will be presenting and leading a session titled, Implementing Disruptive Technologies into the Learning Process at the Technology In Business Schools Roundtable Annual Meeting hosted by Penn State's Smeal College of Business. This should be an interesting opportunity to engage a group of people that I assume will be interested in looking at how business schools should be playing in the emerging technologies space for teaching and learning. This is an important event for me as the Dean of the College of Business is Jim Thomas. Dean Thomas was the Dean of the College of Information Sciences and Technology while I was the Director of the IST Solutions Institute.

On June 18, 2007 I will be delivering a keynote talk to the participants on the Third Annual One-to-One Computing Conference. This annual event is held at Penn State University on the University Park campus. I am looking forward to this as it is an opportunity to talk with a whole new audience -- mainly K-12 teachers. I will be talking about how we can leverage emerging technologies in the classroom to help extend the conversation. I am looking forward to the event and to the opportunity. Another big reason I am very excited is that the Father of the conference is Kyle Peck and many of my good friends in the College of Education have had a big hand in its overall success.
