What In Tarnation?!?!? In the Classroom

Wednesday I am heading to 19th Annual Southwest Education and Technology Conference/Tech Expo in Springfield, MO sponsored by the Regional Consortium for Education and Technology. My main purpose is to present a workshop entitled Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts Oh My! Web 2.0 in the Classroom. The workshop is designed to be an introduction to what Web 2.0 applications are and how they can be used in the classroom.

I presented the same workshop at another technology conference earlier in the year. I had two and a half hours for the workshop and I was finding it difficult to fit everything in during that hands-on workshop. This time around I have fifty minutes. Yikes! Thankfully it is not a hands-on workshop this time around. That will significantly help with the time issue.

If you are curious as to some of the content, you can see my online notes at my new website edTech Ninja in the Ninja School Moodle. Click Blogs, Wikis, and Podcasts Oh My! Web 2.0 in the Classroom. You can either create an account or you can log-in as a guest.

I guess that is also my unofficial announcement of my new website edTech Ninja. (I spell it differently every time I type it, it seems.) I plan to post things that I have done or created for my class for others to use. I firmly believe the only way teachers are going to be successful in the high demand world of modern education, we have to share with each other. This is an easy way for me to share with the world at large. I hope others choose to share through the site as well. Especially in areas where I don’t teach in.

Now if I could just keep up with both sites.

Grrrr Argh!

Witty points if you can name the TV show that the title of the blog post comes from. I use that clip at the end of my presentation. It is good for a nice laugh at the end of the presentation.

Class dismissed!
