About Me:: I teach kids, online. I teach mostly at-risk students who are coming to our charter school as a last chance opportunity. I try to use Web 2.0, Social Networking, and a student-focused, opportunity rich environment to get kids motivated. I recently made a video interviewing kids about the Social Web if you are interested in learning a little more about us.

Wait, We Have a Conference Coming Up, Oh Crap!

I've been so busy with work and school that haven't even planned my schedule yet.

Things I know for sure about NECC 08:
1. Going to spend time at NECC Unplugged because the sessions aren't all lectures.

2. Going to try and meet some of my virtual friends/acquaintances/fellow networkeees at EduBloggerCon on Saturday

3. Going to be hosting a poster session from 9-11 on Monday about Web 2.0 for beginners. Then going to see David Warlicks Globalization presentation from 12:30-1:30 on the same day, other than that have no set plans.

4. Going to see the Alamo on Sunday afternoon

5. Might have to do HW in room! yuck@yuck.com

I see that you are kissing a baby's head in your photo. Very sweet. My photo was taken last year at NECC in Georgia. We had some of the best soul food while we were there. I obviously love fried chicken!

Check out our web site. I think that you could use the same concept and create something for a social studies unit.

If you get a chance stop at booth #6029 I'll be there most of the afternoon on Mon and Tues.....Because you're a heavy social network user I really wanna know what you think about what we're up to at Saywire....need feedback. Cheers, June
