edthink is coming to North Carolina

On December 4th, Mark, Richard, Sallie (and another Marc) will be presenting at the North Carolina Educational Technology Conference in Greensboro, NC. The presentation, titled “Using Google Apps in the K-12 Classroom: Resources, Strategies,& Ideas for 21st Century Learners” will be in the Victoria B room of the Koury Convention Center from 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM. We hope to see you there. If you can’t make it, we are hoping to be able to record the session and post it on the edthink site after the conference. We have also submitted a proposal to the National Educational Computing Conference (NECC) in Washington, D. C. between June 28th and July 1st, 2009. We’ll have updates on the status of this presentation as we get closer to the dates.

More show links

There were a couple of other sites that were mentioned in the show that might be useful to everyone. First, is Google Knol…sort Google’s version of Wikipedia (in it’s early stages). Another link discussed is the Infinite Thinking Machine, a combination blog, podcast, web-TV show produced by Google and WestEd. Next, are a couple of other Google tools that I have been looking at lately…Google Sky, Google Moon, and Google Mars….some very cool stuff. Okay….time to stop “pimping” Google. I would encourage you all to look at the Apple Distinguished Educators site. It provides some useful information on that program. Finally, we mentioned the newspaper for a high school in Palo Alto, CA. I would encourage you to take a look at the Paly Voice….the newspaper published by Palo Alto High School’s Journalism students. Enjoy.
