Did you notice I am not there?

Today I am at two David Warlick workshops Integrating Contemporary Literacy into the Classroom (with Virginia) and Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts: Students Journalists & Information Masters(with John).

One of the really cool websites that he shared was http://del.icio.us . This is a free site that allows you to save bookmarks and access them from anywhere over the web. Take a look at David's del.icio.us site. In our discussion he suggested that we might set up a shared delicious account to organize educational websites. By using tags the websites can be organized for easier access.

I am thinking I will set one up and and create a link to it from this site.

For Your Listening Pleasure

I have been enjoying a podcast/webcast that I thought you all should know about. It is found at edtechtalk.com. It is a bi-weekly webcast - they do it live and you can listen online. I haven't managed to do that yet. I'm having trouble with GMT time and have missed the live broadcast. But luckily, they save the files as podcasts and I download them to my iPod and listen to them when I'm driving to work.

I don't understand everything they are talking about but I find the conversations enjoyable and thought provoking. The 3 main people involved are from different parts of North America - NH, Michigan and PEI, and sometimes there are people from Europe and Asia. Check it out. I'll put a link to the webpage on this blog.
