I’m about to head up to Mohonk Mountain House and I’m getting very excited for the NEIT (NYSAIS Education and Information Technology) unconference. With the use of Twitter, a conference wiki, and many other web 2.0 technologies I think this will be a great unconference. In enjoyed the format very much last year and think it will be even better this year now that most everyone has experienced the format. While these technologies were relatively new last year, they seem to be much more ubiquitous this year and I expect more participation from everyone at the conference.
If you are interested in listening to a NEIT2008 preview, check out EdTechTalk with Arvind Grover and Alex Ragone. They were nice enough to have me on as a gues to discuss potential topics. Below are some of the topics I’m interested in this year:
- Moodle Language Learning Labs (with Covcell or Gong)
- Site Visit Program (Technology Evaluation similar to NYSAIS 5 and 10 year evaluation but much more geared at technology and evaluated by many academic technology and IT specialists)
- Peer Mentoring Programs
- Professional Development
- Setting Up the NYCIST wiki (http://nycist.net)
See all of you up at Mohonk!
