EdTech Presentations at FSI to be Streamed Live

I’m at Faculty Summer Institute at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign preparing for several sessions I will be leading over the next few days.  As I posted earlier, I’m going to attempt to stream 4 sessions I’m leading live online via Ustream as well as record the audio to post to my podcast. This will be an interesting experiment and I look forward to seeing how the quality of the live streams and recordings turn out.

Here are the days/times for these upcoming sessions for anyone who might be interested in taking a peek at any of the sessions online:

  • Getting Started Creating Web Pages with Google Page Creator: Tue., May 13, 2008, 8:30am-9:45am (CDT)
  • Introduction to Social Bookmarking: Tue., May 13, 2008, 1:30pm-2:45pm (CDT)
  • Media Mashups Using Kaltura: Wed., May 14, 2008, 8:30am-9:45am (CDT)
  • Getting Started Creating Web Pages with Google Page Creator: Wed., May 14, 2008, 10:15am-11:30am (CDT)

No guarantees,  but if all goes well, I’ll be streaming these sessions at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/fsi08

I’m experimenting with quite a few new social networking technologies during this week at FSI but will refrain from posting much more about them here.  If interested in keeping posted on these adventures, you can follow me on Twitter.

Preparing for Faculty Summer Institute 2008

As the fly home from the Sloan-C International Symposium, I’m preparing to attend the 2008 Faculty Summer Institute on Teaching with Technology at UIUC.  Although I’m not leading a Learning Team this year, I look forward to giving the following presentations:

  • Introduction to Social Bookmarking
  • Mastering Microblogging
  • Getting Started Creating Web Pages with Google Page Creator
  • Media Mashups
More details to follow.  I’m considering attempting to stream these sessions live on my Ustream account and will post all my online handouts here as well.  Should be fun!
