I was up until after midnight and up again at 4:00 AM, preparing for this presentation — not an uncommon occurrence for a teacher. Today will be a buffet of topics, folded expertly into a sufflett, so subtle, yet bold, that it will change the way that you think about education — I hope!Topics will include some rather surprising facts about economics in the 21st century and the challenges they place on our schools. Your personal online handouts will be available through this link.
There are also a healthy amount of new literacy issues mixed in for spice.
Finally, we delve into the world of the New Web, or Web 2.0. This will include some blogging, some exploring of RSS and aggregators, and podcasting.
