Time flies when you are having fun!

I can't believe that another day of the conference is over. Just one more day. I had a marvelous day today at the NECC conference. All of the sessions I attended today were interesting, engaging and useful. I attended two of the BYOL sessions and really enjoyed those. The first was

Del.icio.us Research: Redesign Assignments with Social Bookmarking. This session went through how to use del.icio.us with students in a class setting. That was very helpful to me. I know I am behind the curve a little but the idea of tagging was new to me this year and this session helped to clarify that for me. The second BYOL session I attended was on Geotagging. This is also new to me so it was also helpful. Global Awareness through Geotagging: Creating and Using Digital Photo Maps

I knew about flickr but hadn't heard of trippermap until that session. I have heard more uses for Google Earth than I knew existed in the last several days! I'm making a to do list based upon what I have learned from the conference. How much of summer is left?

David Warlick's session on Contemporary Literacy was quite good and the panel discussion/keynote in the morning was interesting!

One more day of the conference on Wednesday and it promises to be another great day! I will try for a second time to go to the Moodle session(it was standing room only the first time it was offered), attend the Georgia ISTE affiliate meeting, and listen to a closing keynote that should be tremendous!

But now, a little sleep . . .

We know each other from classblogmeister yahoo group. I'm glad you are having a good time at NECC. I would be interested in that list of uses for GoogleEarth. Maybe we should start a wiki (there probably already is one though) and invite the presenters to add to it. Have a good rest of the week.
