Bring ISTE Unplugged Home - Anytime/Anywhere

If you're weren't able to go to The International Society of Technology Educators conference, you can still enjoy all the ISTE Unplugged sessions anytime/anywhere courtesy of Steve Hargadon and his lovely assistant, Carolyn (aka his daughter).  All sessions and materials (including mine!) can be found at http://ISTEUnplugged.wikispaces.com

The Unplugged sessions offered the opportunity for an "unconference" within a "conference.  Participants who had something great to share, but for whatever reason weren't scheduled for the actual conference, just signed up with their session, description, and materials on the "ISTE Unplugged" wiki and plugged in their topic.  All sessions were recorded live via Elluminate and available for listening and viewing any time at http://ISTEUnplugged.wikispaces.com


These session offer a great deal of information about the latest tools and ideas for learning innovatively. Here are the Unplugged sessions I participated as either an audience member or presenter.


Title: What's New? What's Good: Exploring Digital Writing

Is it better than what came before? In this session, we'll discuss where and how you're writing in digital spaces, and we'll take a look at some resources created by the National Writing Project to explore what digital writing is, or isn't.
