My colleagues and I are getting ready to attend the ISTE 2010 (International Society for Technology in Education) in Denver, CO. The special events and workshops look great this year. I am signed up for:
- To Catch a Thief for 21st-Century Learners: Teaching Digitally
- Collaborative Web Tools
- Engage, Enrich, and Enhance Professional Development with Online Learning
- On-the-Fly Virtual Lessons
- Anywhere Computing: Enabling Scalable 1-to-1 with Open Source
We will also be attending a breakfast for Media Specialists.
David Warlick will be present. I have heard him speak once before (at NECC 2007, National Educational Computing Conference, now called ISTE). He is a terrific speaker. His thoughts on literacy.... that we are more than just about literacy, we need to live and learn literacy; make literacy a habit....are very compelling and certainly pertinent to our work here at Learning Resources.
The hotels for the conference filled up fast and we ended up with lodging that is 80 blocks from the conference center. Fortunately there are shuttle buses between hotels...estimated time to reach the center: 20 minutes. Somehow, I think it will take longer with other hotel stops and traffic.

Maggie. I think it is great that you are actively working on your positive web presence. I think it is great that you have breathed life into your blog. I don't have too much to say about your posting. I think when you become more comfortable with you online presence I think you willene more willing to be a bit more edgy/pithy with your blog.
