For what it's worth

I've noticed a recent trend on several of NINGs sites, related to education and/or ed tech. It seems profiles are being created for "members" whose educational connections are dubious, at best. Some are promoting ways to make money from the use of various web sites, while others are promoting a service that will "help" you with all your dissertation needs. I would advise people to be on the lookout for these "members" and take care not to accept their friend requests. Some NINGS actively try to… Continue

ICE 2009 - Blatant Self-Promotion!

A little blatant self-promotion! For those of you who may have wanted to take part in my "Keep It Clean!" 1/2 day workshop last year but were unable to for one reason or another, it's being offered not once, but twice this year at ICE 2009. Register soon if you plan on attending. Go to Conference Registration on the ICE website. Continue

Meanwhile, over at Blogger

My Blogger site is undergoing a makeover. It's a work in progress right now, but we'll see if I can be a little more regular and informative with my posts. But hey, I'm retired, so I should have the time, right? Continue

And It's Time to Start again!

It's springtime, and that means it's time to start getting out the proposals for next fall's round of conferences. I've already submitted for Mt. Vernon and IETC. Still need to decide whether or not to try for TETC and METC again. I've been invited to submit by both but the timing… Continue

Here we go again!

Hard to believe we're almost there for yet another IL-TCE at Pheasant Run! Some of us remember the early days, and Role of Tech at the Arlington Heights Hilton. Did we ever really envision just how large and significant this conference would become. I have presented recently at state and regional conferences, and believe me, IL-TCE can rightly call itself one of the premier educational technology conferences in the country! Illinois educators should be proud of what has been accomplished through… Continue

METC, (part 2)

Well, I started the month in St. Charles, Missouri at METC, and look forward to closing out the month in St. Charles, Illinois at IL-TCE.
METC was a good conference for me, despite the rather poor travel conditions...fog going down on Monday and snow returning on Wednesday! My session was well received and even though I was in the "Dead Zone", the last session of the day, attendance was terrific. I didn't count the room but I went with 75 handouts and counted only 6 in my bag today. I know… Continue

The Value of Follow-up


Having a site for attendees to go to for resources is definitely a plus for any presentation. Just look at the spikes in hits for the days following my sessions at IETC.

The site is Keep It Clean!

Whistling Dixie!

Well, last week it was IETC, next week it's TETC. Heading to Nashville, Tennessee to present my "Keep It Clean!" session as a two hour hands-on workshop. From there I keep heading south for a couple of weeks in Florida with my daughter's family. Then it's back up north for the holiday season and the final two month surge before IL-TCE!
February will be busy as well. I'm presenting at… Continue

Springfield in November

If it were February, I'd be writing this from Pheasant Run, but it's only November so I must be at the Crowne Plaza! It's IETC time! If you're here add a post or a comment and let's see how many of us are conference junkies!
