EduComm 2007 sessions

Presenting at EduComm this year was a great experience but didn’t really allow time in my schedule to attend any sessions. Well, here is a page of 2007 EduComm Post-Event Conference Material with links to handouts and videos of sessions so now I can watch them. And so can you. :)

In Plain English, please!

Filed under: Education, Technology, Video, Web 2.0, wikis — Patty O'Flynn @ 12:05 pm

Looking for ways to learn about or teach others about wikis, social networking, or RSS feeds? Scott McLeod at Dangerously Irrelevant has compiled a list of great “in Plain English” videos by Commoncraft that will explain these topics. I have only seen the wiki video in its entirety; it does a great job of explaining what a wiki is in terms that non-techies can easily understand. I’m looking forward to seeing the other videos and sharing them with staff!
