EduBloggerCon 2010 will be held all day Saturday, June 26th, at the Colorado Convention Center just prior to the ISTE Conference. More information at http://www.edubloggercon.com.
I have to think about this more, but my initial thoughts are mixed. I think the idea is great is some respects, but I don't know if people would want the world to know their level of expertise. Would we want our students walking around with differen…
I would spend more time with the online planner! Organizing my time better. I would also of attended the storm on Capital Hill, I understand it was quite interesting, as well as the Library of Congress Event! Lastly I would attend the Edubloggers Co…
Julie, the after parties/get togethers were about the best part of it. You get to meet new folks from other parts of the country. They aren't always formal, some were just getting together with friends from online, or that we meet at the conference.…
I probably shouldn't be answering this question, because I only dropped by for a little of the edubloggercon, (as I was not registered for NECC but was vacationing with my husband in DC. I'm grateful to Steve and whoever else set up the elluminate s…
Thanks for the input everyone. I'll put this question out on Twitter again tomorrow. I certainly hope this discussion is around next year because I think that it would be great for people to read prior to ISTE 10 in Denver next year.
Great question. This was my first NECC. I had an amazing time. I was overwhelmed (as I expected to be). I got to meet some great people and participate in some wonderful sessions and discussions. What I would do over or differently? I made it to par…
Being my first NECC I would definitely stay more close to the convention center and avoid costly transportation to stay involved throughout the day/night. Also, I would make sure to receive confirmation for BYOL sessions. I signed up too early this…
After teaching 3rd grade for eight years, I decided to make a switch. Already having my Masters Degree in Educational Computing, I decided to go back to school again and become a Library Media Specialist. I'm currently in my fourth year in this position, the last three at the same elementary school. I'm very interesting in using technology to teach and make learning more fun for the kids. However, in my current position, my time is limited with the students much more than I anticipated. Outside of school, I spend time with my family and I'm very much a sports fanatic. I'm also a Mac guy.
Hi Chad. I was wondering if you have any high school contacts who would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

Hi Chad,
With your interest in Education Technology, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.
Hi Chad,
I went to Teryl Magee's Skype demo at TETC in Nashville,TN this year. I just joined this Ning today and looked at videoconferencing and there you were. When you have time, could you let me know how your project turned out? I'm really interested in doing something with Skype and my fifth graders. I'd love to come up with something for them to do so that they could interact with another classroom. If you have any ideas you can pass along I'd love to hear them...thanks in advance!
Do you have a Nebraska teacher for your project? We just finished our state project and we put it on a VoiceThread. I like your new twist to the typical state project.
Hi Chad,
We're Midwest neighbors, I'm in Illinois! I'm a district technology integration specialist and work in Northbrook, IL (a northern suburb of Chicago). If you'd like an adult to interview, would love to Skype with one or more of your students. I taught 4th grade for many years and remember well those state research projects.
I may also be able to find a student to be interviewed, but might want the questions in advance to be sure s/he knows the answers (ie. population of IL or whatever 'fact' you might want answered)
I can be reached many ways email: jepcke@gmail.com, twitter: jepcke, or Skype: jepcke. I'm also a member of Classroom 2.0 if you want to leave me a message here.
Good luck with the project; love the idea, and I'll look for you on Twitter!
