NECC Sessions for the Classroom 2.0 Crowd

For those who might be attending (or wanting to attend) NECC in San Antonio in a couple of weeks, be sure to check out some of the following activities:

1. EduBloggerCon 2008. The Saturday just before the conference, in the conference center. A whole day of "unconferencing" with educational bloggers. Subtitled "Classroom 2.0 LIVE in San Antonio." No cost to attend, just sign up at the wiki and come with wireless ready. If you can't make it in person, watch the wiki, as both back-channel chatting and streaming video of the whole day are almost guaranteed with this crowd.

2. NECC "Unplugged." Three days of collaborative fun in the NECC lounges, centering on the Bloggers' Cafe. Come and give the talk you always wished you could give at NECC. Or do a speed demo. I'll be talking about Ning, of course! While we don't know if the bandwidth will allow streaming video the whole time, it will be tried! Watch the wiki up and look for links to live interaction.
