Does your Personal Learning Network feel like this (right)? Chances are that it does, at least some of the time. We’re hearing about PLN more and more at ed tech conferences with increasing enthusiasm (evangelism) — and this is good. We can no long rely on a broadcast/publish information environment as the […]

It’s been a nice weekend at home. This was probably the first weekend in months that I have enjoyed entirely at home in many weeks. This morning I’ll be off to Starbucks to try to catch up on some writing projects — without a chance in hades of actually getting caught up.

No! He’s […]

The NCAECT conference ended yesterday afternoon.  I left the banquet just after Deneen’s closing keynote, but just before the association unveiled their new name.  Brenda was waiting in the lobby of the hotel and we wanted to beat the rush of educators scurrying back home (across the state) and toward their weekends.
I think that what […]

It 7:55 and the conference hall is still quiet.  Lot’s of people, but they are mostly quietly enjoying their continental breakfast.  Calipso is playing on the presenter’s computer, here in Kannapolis B, at the far end of the conference facility.  In about 20 minutes Lizbeth Coleman, of Durham Academy, will be talking with us about […]

This is a screen capture of the Ustreaming of my Personal Learning Networks session at NCAECT

Well, I learned a lot yesterday, mostly from just talking with people.  I also know that I missed some opportunities to learn, such as when my friend, Dick MacFall invited me to come into a session at the end of […]

Just thought I’d mention that there are four people here at NCAECT who are Ustreaming sessions.  Here are links to the streams:

Live blogged. Please excuse typos and awkward wording.

Sheryl Nussbaum Beach is rocking!

Introductions are happening now, in Concord. It’s important to note that we are only a handful of miles from the Lowes Raceway, site of the Charlotte 500. So the theme is NASCAR. An added treat was Don Kuenesic of ISTE, […]

This picture was actually taken at the Bloggers Cafe.

I often say that I blog to learn.  I also teach to learn, and no time was that more evident to me than yesterday’s workshop at the NCAECT.  The first thing that struck me about this group of about 20 educators was the number of them that […]

Yesterday enjoyed a goodly number of preconference workshops led by Tammy Worcester, Kevin Honeycutt, Leslie Fisher, David Hostetler, Jodie Smith, Melissa Thibault, Dr. Bobby Hobgood, David Walbert, Deborah Goodman, and Gail Holmes. I’ll report a bit about my workshop on personal learning networks and the collaborative web later. To top things off, Deneen […]

I had an interesting experience last night, where I was disappointed, impressed, and educated.  Those of you who travel, know that many hotel rooms now come with wide flat LG TVs.  They aren’t HD, but they do project in letterbox, which is cool.
Last night, when I checked in, I tried to connect my laptop up […]
