My NECC Schedule

June 22nd, 2009 by alicemercer in schedule · No Comments

Below is my calendar for NECC 2009 | National Educational Computing Conference put on by ISTE which will be starting next week. I will begin my travels to Washington, D.C. on Thursday afternoon with a train ride down to the San Francisco Bay area to spend the night there  before leaving by plane for the Capitol.

I will be live blogging many of the events I attend. The blog will appear at http://inpractice.edublogs.org, but I will likely mirror it at http://mizmercer.edublogs.org and http://mercertraining.edublogs.org.

I will be spending most of Tuesday on Capitol Hill as part of a lobbying effort by ISTE. I will be communicating solely by cell phone that day, so you can follow me at http://twitter.com/alicemercer or http://www.plurk.com/mizmercer.

It was a fun session, and a great turnout (about 20) on Friday night (for me at least, lots of Aussies there for their Saturday a.m.). You can listen to the session at:

My links for the session are at:

And in response to the question about rubrics for VoiceThread:

And here is info about pricing for educators. I may have misspoke because it looks like the Pro-educator account will put you in ed.voicethread.com which is not as “open” an environment as some educators would like:
