Chris Webb'Space
Dateline: Saturday June 27, 2009
Brian (@baufforth), Craig (@cnansen), and I (@cwebbtech) have arrived at EduBloggerCon. We're sitting in the large group "into" session, to get organized (although this is an "unconference", so the term organization is used loosely). I will update this blog post, as time goes on, across the day.The first session I'm going to be in today is "Web 2.0 Smackdown", facilitated by Vicki Davis ("and company"). This is the link to my delicious account, and the weblinks that we're learning about during the smackdown: http://delicious.com/Chris.Webb/ebc09

The next session I'm joining in on is one on the uses of Diigo in education, facilitated by @jgates513. This collaborative social bookmarking site allows for users to create "annotated bookmarks" and share those links out. Teachers could annotate links that are shared with students, and have students add their information to the link - how they're using it, what they've found useful in it, etc. This might be a good tool to look at for the coming year, in addition to more exposure for our students and teachers to Delicious. This past year, one of my sixth grade classes did a research project, and we had the students add their research links to a single, shared classroom Delicious account.
(Right: Maggie (from Diigo) shares information with the group.)What continues to blow my mind (and always has) about NECC and EduBloggerCon, is that the level of sessions is *cool*, but the level of interaction and sharing is *astronomical*! I've spent a decent amount of my personal and professional time looking at websites, and thinking of how they might be used in my teachers' classrooms, but to hear new and innovative ways to do things from other techies and educators is well worth the cost of coming to NECC.
The benefits of EduBloggerCon is the laid-back format of the day, which continues to encourage sharing and collaboration.
