Tonight (Wednesday, about 5:15 Pacific standard time) about half my class will be able to make it to and be involved in Technology Cafe 2009, which is being held in the Red Mountain Building on the campus of Truckee Meadows Community College here in Reno, Nevada. Students and teachers in K – 16 will be showcasing how they use technology to support their learning. My class will be blogging, Skyping, making wiki pages and more … others will be demonstrating Second Life, podcasting and many other ed tech pieces.
I am going to try to Ustream out at least our 2 Skype sessions. They are part of the “Around The World in 80 Schools” project. We will be video-conferencing with teachers and students in Beijing, China and Bangkok, Thailand. I will try to post the Ustream link here and on Twitter … after we get there and see what the network will support.
Learning is messy!
