Weekend of Events
There are three wonderful events occurring this weekend. You can participate online through Classroom2.0’s Elluminate account. See the message from Classroom 2.0 and links below for details. If you decide to attend and learn anything new, please share in the comments below. Enjoy!
1. PodStock, this Friday and Saturday (May 1 & 2
This is the brainchild of the ever-amazing Kevin Honeycutt. The physical conference is in Old Town Wichita, Kansas, but one whole track of the conference is being live-streamed through Classroom 2.0’s Elluminate account. The event schedule for Friday is here for day 1, and the event schedule for Saturday is here. The Elluminate link for both days is here. Wichita is Central Daylight Time, so take that into account when looking at their program. I’ve “heard” Kevin speak at an online workshop before and he has done some incredible things in education.
2. MIT’s New Media Literacies Spring Conference, this Saturday (May 2).
This one-day event, “Learning in a Participatory Culture,” is being held physically in Boston and is also being streamcast in its entirety (all tracks!). Because there are different Elluminate links for each track, you’ll need to go to this detailed schedule to click through to individual sessions. Boston is Eastern Daylight Time, so take that into account when looking at the program.
3. The Classroom 2.0 “LIVE” Saturday show (May 2). 9am PDT / 12pm EDT.
These are fabulous! I attend most of them on Saturdays and they are great for beginners and at times, inspirational for those not so new. The topic this week is “Managing Social Networks” with special guest, Angelia Maiers – author of the book, Classroom Habitudes. Please join for some great information and tips about managing social networks and the concept ‘Inbox Zero’. More information and session details are here. The direct Elluminate link is here.
Let me know if you decide to attend any of these.
