Goodbye, NECC!
This image sums up NECC 2008: a real-life speaker is simulataneously speaking on Second Life while attendees watch at the Bloggers’ Cafe.
The end result for me: I got a few ideas from this conference I can take back to ACTE. I’m thinking of ways we could get involved in the collaborative classroom, e-mail and blog services such as ePals and ways we could use online resources to connect and possibly help CTE teachers in other countries. I also heard “21st century skills” a lot and I think we need to start adding this phrase to our material.
The biggest benefit I have reaped is being reined in. I’ve gotten a little off-mission in my thinking of what I can do to support ACTE members through online resources. I need to make more use of resources already out there for helping our members with their education technology professional development and be more of a liaison.
Thanks for reading! Go back to the “CTE and Ed Tech” post and the “CTE Session: Woo Hoo!” post for CTE topics of interest from the conference.

Catherine, I didn’t read this email until after NECC. How could I have missed you! I was there at the Blogger’s Cafe quite frequently! Bumm!
