A few exciting tid bits to type about today. First, is my work with IT4Educators–Innovative Technology for Educators. I recently wrote a post on Moodlerfic about this company and how I’m involved in it.
I’m very excited to work with IT4Educators and I think it’s a great way for educators to get credits needed. I’m also excited about helping with their online web presence and getting their blog up and off the ground. The instructors at IT4Educators are some great tech leaders and will be providing useful resources and posts on the blog.
It’s a great way for educators to get the credits they need and since it’s using Moodle it’s convenient for users. IT4Educators also has very relevant and up to date tech integration courses like Twitter, Moodle, SMARTNotebook, and more. I’ll also be maintaining the IT4Educators Blog and writing posts every once in awhile about Moodle, so watch out for those.
On a separate note…
I recently wrote a series of blog posts on Moodle Monthly about my experience with our district’s Moodle Implementation. Joseph Thibault (creator of Moodle Monthly) kindly put all of those posts together and published “Once Upon a Moodle Install” on LuLu.com. Big thanks to Joseph!
That’s about it – just wanted to post about what’s been happening..till next time – Lifes a Blog!
Denver… ISTE 2010… here I come!
I was recently told that I would be able to attend the ISTE 2010 Conference in Denver, CO along with some of my colleagues.
ISTE is the premier membership association for educators and education leaders engaged in improving teaching and learning by advancing the effective use of technology in PK–12 and teacher education. ISTE is home to the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS), and ISTE’s annual conference and exposition, (formerly known as NECC). ISTE represents more than 100,000 professionals worldwide.
I will be attending with an awesome group of people from the Osseo School District. This will be my very first ISTE Conference, the only other bigger conference I’ve been to was TIES (the last 3 years) but this conference will be much, much “bigger”.
I hope to attend some good sessions and write up a few quality blog posts this summer. I will most likely attend sessions about Moodle, mobile devices and other software or web-based tools.
I’m assuming Twitter will be blowing up with #ISTE2010 and #ISTE10 tags around June 25-27 and you can check out the ISTE 2010 Ning.
Can’t wait! If you’re going I’d love to network! My Twitter handle is @mebenson.
