Michael Lackner’s Poster Session
If you are at NECC I sure hope you got by Michael Lackner’s poster session “Weblogs in Education: Cutting Edge Uses of This Emerging Technology”.
Now I just posted I can’t be there but I am there!
Case in point……..this is yet again another way technology and those
creating the resources are making a difference. We can’t be there in
person but we get to participate. Of course, I’d rather be there
talking to Michael but this is the next best thing! Thanks Michael for
this terrific resource!
Here’s the outline:
Outline
I. Weblog background
a. Definition

c. Examples of Practical Educational Uses and Applications
II. Sharing of Weblogs

III. Starting Your Own Blog

b. Provide handout with tips for starting your own weblog
Here’s a link to it.
It’s even got a downloadable
PowerPoint presentation. His web site is very comprehensive - and I
really like his reviews of weblog services, It has everything you would
want to know, even down to ratings for ease of use.
Bookmarks, definitions, quotes, instructional uses, and my
favorite……… Bloom’s Taxonomy! It is going to be so nice to
have this reference. He has answered many of the recurring questions
about blogging. Thanks again, Michael, for such a wonderful resource!
He also explains cool applications for blogs like Chatango,
TagBoard, and Blogpoll.
Michael is going to be at the Bryn Mawr School in Baltimore as the
Upper School Technology Coordinator and Emerging Technologies Teacher.
He’s going to be able to put his passion for integrating weblogs
throughout the curriculum next year. That’s way overdue and I am so
excited about that! He has really been missed in the weblog world
this year!
