TIES Conference here I come

My blog and wiki workshop at the TIES conference went well. None of the atttendees had a real clear idea what blogs were about when they started. I’d like to think that they left at the end of the day with some good ideas about how blogs and wikis can be used with teachers and students. I talked a lot about RSS and showed them Bloglines, Furl, TeacherHosting.com, WordPress, MovableType, Blogger, TypePad, PubSub, Flickr, Del.icio.us, Wikiepedia, Wikinews, Moodle, and iPodder.org. Whew! I had a blast doing it.

The general sessions begin tomorrow and I’ll try to blog my way through all the ones I attend. There should be abundant wi-fi, but I’m hoping that I won’t have any trouble finding an electrical outlet to sit near. This old PowerBook’s battery ain’t what it used to be. Maybe I’ll grab an iBook instead.

My presentations are Tuesday at 10:00 am and 1:30 pm. I’m not quite done with either one, so it may be a late night or two.
