As I was presenting these myself, I wasn’t actually taking the time to give a play-by-play in Plurk. You can see my wikis for Session 3 and Session 4 if you want my take on them, though. Another option would be to check out Selena Ward’s Plurk log of my Session 3 and someone else’s Session 4 (She didn’t attend mine because she’s already a PLN master). Good stuff, there.

theartguy Keynote for Day 1 is Karen Cator from Apple. Lots of good ideas, though many are common amongst keynoters. theartguy says Web 1.0: Watch Tv and try to understand commercials.

I’ve been Plurking my experiences of the keynotes and sessions. I’ll be moving them over to this blog for the sake of those who don’t use Plurk but still want to comment or whatever. 3rd year in a row that I’ve been stopped by someone – this time it was just because he thought since registration doesn’t open ’till 7:30am today that no one was allowed in until then. (But if I’m not in the parking garage before 7 I don’t get the early bird…Continue Reading “Notes from the front lines of MICCA”
Academic Aesthetic 159: Podcasting Tips and Tricks [ 44:03 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (1542)I promised to have this uploaded before I crashed for the night – looks like I got to keep my promise. This is the audio from my presentation at this year’s MICCA conference. Forgive me if I keep things brief as I’m quite wiped by the experience of these past two days. A pdf version of my PowerPoint, including a special bonus slide at the end, is available here. Yes, I really do mention David Warlick that often. It’s only because he does so much…Continue Reading “Academic Aesthetic 159: Podcasting Tips and Tricks”
When I saw that FableVision was the keynote for today, I admit I was a little worried – but only as much as I’m always worried when I see a presentation by someone running a commercial business. I suppose the idea that a company involved in education is more interested in the business than the education runs deep in me. Goodness knows, I’ve had my share of bad experiences in this area… But every now and then, I find a glaring exception. The DEN, usually,…Continue Reading “MICCA Keynote Day 2: FableVision”
Forgive me if this reads like I’m just a bit distracted – I’m writing this during the awards presentations that are preceding today’s keynote. It’s hard for me to do 3 things at once sometimes. I didn’t blog from any sessions yesterday, as I spent the entire time showing people just how easy podcasting can be at the podcasting booth. As such, I missed all of yesterday’s sessions. Don’t take this as a complaint, however. I would have loved to see all the cool things…Continue Reading “MICCA, for most of yesterday”
I’m sitting here at my Podcasting Booth, which is unfortunately right next to the conference bookstore. I say “unfortunately” because, as a bookworm, I’ve already found two that I will be buying as soon as they officially open. It’s like those books held a vaccum cleaner up to my wallet and sucked the money right out! … I have no willpower at all. Here’s my assessment of what’s going on so far. +Only took 7 minutes to realize that the horrible beeping noise I was…Continue Reading “At MICCA, before it starts.”
This time around I might sound a little different – that’s because I’m using my Creative Zen again, rather than GarageBand. I figured since I would be demonstrating it tomorrow I should get back into he process of actually using it. The books I ramble on about in this episode are Kidcast: Podcasting in the Classroom and Kidcast: Creative Podcasting Activities. I was a bit hesitant when I got an email from the publisher asking if I wanted to give these books away at my…Continue Reading “Academic Aesthetic 158: MICCA Freebies”
