So, here we are at Tech Matters 06, an institute for technology liaisons of the National Writing Project from across the nation who have converged on a very sunny Chico, California. Technology showcases and playtime with new tech tools are the flavor of the 4-day institute. We have explored podcasting, collaborative online writing, social bookmarking, wiki's, blogging, aggregators, and much more.

Here are a few photos from our week in Chico. It's been colorful, friendly, and HOT!

And for my first podcasting experiment, I've linked this meager clip that gives you a snippet of what our time in the computer lab has done for me.

Cross your fingers, and let's see what happens.
