Keynote: October 2009 Archives
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.
I have been invited to keynote the annual Pennsylvania Association of Colleges and Teacher Educators conference, which is the state organizational affitliates of ATE and AACTE. It is also the state convening for PERA, the state affiliate of AERA. I will be speaking to representatives from all 93 institutions of higher education in PA who prepare teachers. I've been asked to speak about where students spend their times as it relates to social computing. I'll touch on social networks, user generated content, and the one button web.
