Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach was the keynote speaker and her message about the needed shift in education was just as important as ever to hear. Bob recorded the keynote

Bob, Cheryl, and I presented “Geek of the Week”, which was well attended and broadcast live on EdTEchTalk.com. It was great to see my colleagues from our high school and from the summer classes at USM. The audio podcast and links should be available soon.

With 1000+ people in attendance it was invigorating to see the excitement of the attendees. It will be fun to see the follow up at the MaineED netvibes site set up by Michael Richards.

    Teachers will explore the use of audio and video tools that support student learning, collaboration, and communication that extend beyond classroom walls. Audio and video content can be accessed online, created by individuals or groups and used for collaborative conversations. The first step of the course is acquiring and organizing existing content available from online. Next, is learning to use podcasting tools to create content. Participants can then expand from podcasting to screencasting and video to make use of the distributed, collaborative potential of these tools. The ability to easily publish content online will encourage teachers to rethink the way they communicate with students, and the way curriculum is delivered. Educators will become knowledgeable about 21st Century Literacy skills as they fit into the classroom.

    I am very excited to be part of the team keynoting the “Getting Started” strand at the K-12 Online Conference this year. It is such an honor to be part of this terrific line up. If you haven’t ever taken part, this is a great opportunity to take part in professional development that is timely and appropriate for your classroom. It is structured so that you can take the sessions whenever you want.

    And, if you are thinking of proposing a session, you still have time. The due date is July 11th.

    I hope to see you online at the sessions!
