What a fantastic theme for an educational technology conference, and I only just realized how true it plugs in to the presentations I will be making today. Unfortunately, I will not be doing my World is Flat presentation, which is fine, since nearly everyone has read it now. In fact, my theme continues from Friday in NYC.
The keynote address will be about communicating in an increasingly networked, digital, and overwhelming information landscape. What does literacy mean in this rapidly changing world. The online wiki handouts can be found here.
That session will be followed up by the new web, Web 2.0. However, I’ll be throwing in flat world here, because, in a very real sense, the web is flattening from a place where only those with the technical skills could publish, to one where most anyone can participate in the web-conversation.
My final session will be about blogging. This will be a rough but fairly rich overview of blogging, what it looks like, how you start, and how you finish.
