Presenter: Byrdeen Warwod, Bozeman Public Schools, Bozeman, MT If Dan Rather knows what a blog is, shouldn’t you? And just what is a wiki, exactly? A…tropical flower? These questions and more will be answered in this session as participants learn how to harness the “new media” revolution and use wikis and blogs as exciting instructional strategies in their classrooms. We live in a time when anyone with a keyboard and an Internet connection can be a journalist or scholar, and students need to know how to get the most out of these innovative collaboration tools. Forget what Microsoft’s little red spell check line says – “wiki” and “blog” are real words, and they can have a real impact on your classroom! In this engaging session, audience participation will be encouraged, and participants will leave with many useful handout materials. Presenter: Nate Cradit, Eastern Michigan University, Ypsilanti, MI Session 2: Sanity in a Technological World We live in a time of instant feedback and gratification. Technological advances provide different ways to keep organized and communicate. The advances have significantly affected and molded society. Therefore, it seems that more technology is necessary to keep moving forward and “stay ahead of the game.” With e-mail overload, people not following technology etiquette, and the need to not let technology take over your life (technological management), strategies are necessary. These strategies will be discussed and audience participation will be encouraged.
