ASSET 2008

Posted by wbrennan on March 17, 2008

Happy St. Patty’s Day to all.  Today I am attending the 2008 ASSET technology conference with 800 other educators.  This is always a very exciting conference.  Its great to see all the educators from across Long Island, as well as getting a chance to see the latest and greatest from our technology vendors. I really enjoyed the keynote address given by Rushton Harvey.  This was the first time I participated in a keynote using a classroom response system.  Rushton was able to use this interactive technology to poll the audience on various topics.  I am going to use this space to share my experiences and notes from todays conference.

What does it mean to be LITERATE?

Posted by wbrennan on October 18, 2007

I hope to reach out to a big audience with this one, because it sure is a relevant question these days.  From one generation to the next there are differences in opinons on what it means to be literate in the 21st century.  I for one have always found video and music to be a powerful means of delivering a message.  Maybe you have seen this or maybe you haven’t, but please watch this.  To my fellow bloggers, please share your ideas on what it means to be literate after watching that show.  Comments will be posted and I am setting up our very first podcast regarding this topic.
