Keynote: 11/13/2009: Youth Connect

By Cole W. Camplese on October 1, 2009 3:11 PM | | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
I have been invited to keynote the Youth Connect Summit in Pittsburgh, PA.  An audience like this will present a new challenge to me and one that I am very much looking forward to.  Youth Connect is a community run organization that was begun as a result of grass roots efforts to help young people avoid risky behavior.  It has become a community-wide effort that involves adults and students from our local and private schools, churches, and other community organizations.  I've been asked to provide a baseline of education related to teens use of technology and to help parents and community leaders be better prepared to have conversations related to their use of social networks.

I have been invited to give the keynote talk at the MDLA fall conference.  I plan to spend time following their theme -- Social Mania -- by focusing energy on the social web and its impact on teaching and learning.  I am going to spend time talking about social environments, user created content, and the emergence of the One Button Web.  I am looking forward to making new connections and meeting some new friends.

Invited Presentation and Workshop: 10/22/2009: Lancaster-Lebanon IU 13

By Cole W. Camplese on October 1, 2009 3:00 PM | | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
I'll be spending time with the faculty and staff of the Lancaster-Lebanon IU 13 discussing disruptive technologies in teaching and learning.  This half day will focus primarily on discussing strategies related to the appropriate integration of disruptive technologies for teaching.  I will draw upon my experiences from the course I co-teach with Scott McDonald and from examples of work I do around Penn State.  I always enjoy speaking with people in K-12 and find it an interesting challenge to make what I have to say work in their contexts.

I will be once again giving a talk at the Penn State Libraries focusing on the rise of social media and its impact in higher education.  I will be giving a updated and revised version of my "Enabling the New Classroom Conversation" talk to a University-wide audience.  I will be presenting in Foster Auditorium, but it will also be made openly available on Media Site Live.  As the date approaches I will share the URL.

I've been invited to give a talk to the Penn State Learning Centers related to the explosion of social media and its potential impact in education.  This will be an opportunity to speak to not only University faculty and staff, but also to students.  I always find it interesting getting to share thoughts with such mixed groups -- and I love getting to see how students react to my perspective on "their" space.

Invited Speaker: 08/19/2009: Penn State Brandywine

I've been invited to speak to a group of faculty, staff, and students at Penn State's Brandywine campus about the role of social computing in teaching and learning.  I'll be sharing some thoughts that I hope will resonate with the group and perhaps push some of them to take advantage of many of the technologies we have available here at Penn State.

Online Session: 07/01/2009: Community of Educational Technology Support at UW-Madison

By Cole W. Camplese on June 30, 2009 5:12 PM | | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

I've been invited to speak to the Community of Educational Technology Support at UW-Madison about my use of Twitter and other disruptive technologies in the classroom via an Adobe Connect session. This is something I am really looking forward to as I am sure it will spawn lots of good conversation. I'm very grateful to the folks at UW for putting this together and inviting me.

I plan to spend some time reflecting on the CI597C course Scott McDonald and I co-taught and how we implemented our deisgn to include both rigor and emerging technologies. The session will be hosted in an open Adobe Connect room provided by UW. If you are interested in learning more, take a look at the event page.

Featured Speaker: 06/10/2009: Alumni Association Conference

By Cole W. Camplese on June 10, 2009 11:32 AM | | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
This morning I talked to a large group of Alumni Association staff about ideas related to connecting communities.  The talk was titled, Emerging Trends for Connecting Communities, and focused on the emergent opportunities within social environments, content creation spaces, and with the rise of mobility.  It is always quite a bit of fun getting to talk to people outside my specific area of focus and I always discover that we have far more in common than I expect going in.

Presentation: 05/14/2009: Faculty Academy 2009

By Cole W. Camplese on March 30, 2009 3:25 PM | | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

I will be a featured presenter and a workshop leader at the University of Mary Washington's Faculty Academy 2009. I'm not sure what I will be talking about specifically, but I know since I am heading down to Jim Groom's turf I'll need to step it up a bit. I'm using the same title as I usually do for my talks, although I have some plans to mix it up a bit.

Engaging the New Classroom Conversation

During this talk we will investigate key trends impacting educators in their overall design of learning. Focusing on the emergence of user-created content, social spaces, and mobile devices we will take an integrated look at how we can better utilize technology within these areas to meet the needs of our students. We will also explore how these technologies have, and continue to, impact both faculty and learners and review some active examples within each area. During this talk, we will focus attention on how educators can leverage selected disruptive technologies to shape learning outcomes in new ways.

From the conference website:

The Faculty Academy for Teaching and Learning Technologies is a free annual event hosted by the University of Mary Washington. This year's conference will be held May 13-14, 2009, at the University of Mary Washington's College of Graduate and Professional Studies. For the past 14 years, Faculty Academy has brought together faculty and staff from both campuses at UMW to share and celebrate the year's efforts and accomplishments in the classroom, with teaching and learning technologies as the specific focus (or, one might say, catalyst) of the event.
