Next Best Thing……
I just spent some time browsing through the posts made from the attendees at NCTE 2003. It was great to have the NCTE 2003 weblog that aggregated contributions from attendees of the EdBlogger 2003 conference. Sounds like they had a great week-end! I noticed that the ncte.edweblog.org is a project of Clarity Innovations, Inc. What a great company! Thor and his group are always ready and willing to be there for educators. I love the opening three lines on their site…
Our vision is clear.
Our mission is simple.
Our intent is genuine.
You can read posts from Mark Bernstien, Will Richardson, Tom Hoffman, Tim Lauer, Yosha, eBN, Pat Delaney, spitgirl, Cyprien Lomas, Albert Delgado, Thor Prichard, and Paul Bradley.
Paul Bradley posted about SubEthaEdit…..
SubEthaEdit (better known as its former name “Hydra”) is a local network based wiki application. For those of you who don’t know what that means, it is a word processing application that lets multiple users on the network all edit the same document at the same time. During EdBlogger 2003, we used it to keep track of the meetings. Click (original post link) to read the notes of the first afternoon session, “Blogging in the classroom, lab, library and school.”
Pat wraps it up with a final request for all attendees to click the “How’d we do?” link and give us some feedback.
I know we will be getting more feedback and I look forward to it - once again weblogs are a vehicle to let us say….it’s the next best thing to being there!!
