Many educators are exploring revolutionary new online tools with their
students: blogs, wikis, podcasts, and more - including social tools
like ning and twitter. But it is more important for educators and
students to become part of an online learning network than to master
any of these specific tools. Participants will hear how one
teacher-turned-educational-technologist learned to network, and then
networked to learn. They will leave with inspiration and concrete ideas
to use for taking charge of their own professional development - and
for helping their students become part of a global learning community.

Episode 14 - Mark Wagner's Spotlight Presentation "Learn to Network & Network to Learn"

Explore Google's latest tools in a fun, faced-paced session that answers the question: is Google really improving access to the world's information? As consumers and instructional leaders, the Internet is a major source of information for educators. Google is the primary entry point for most people into the vast resources available on the Internet, yet most people don't understand why it is so special and how to use it effectively. In addition, Google's latest tools allow for information to be personalized and shared in exciting new ways. This session highlights some Google's hottest new tools and helps educators get them most from the "Google Universe."

Episode 13 - Chris Walsh presents "Search, Learn, Share in the Googleverse"

This fast-paced, high-energy presentation explores the implications for
living, teaching, and learning in a world of infinite knowledge - where
today's tools support learning everywhere and all the time.  The
proliferation of high-speed Internet access, the near ubiquity of
mobile communication devices, and the efficiency of today's
collaborative tools have deep implications for how we teach and learn. 
But what will we do with this massive flow of information?  How will we
know if learning is really happening?  And how do these technology
changes connect to other social trends?  Schools and communities that
can figure this out will lead the way in the 21st century.
