NECC 2008 Wrap-up Show Links

Thanks to all who made this a very interesting and productive show/meeting/webcast! We had 60+ in the discussion through at least the first hour, and I thought it was, again, a great example of the community at work. I couldn't post this as a comment to the previous blog post because the URLs weren't coming through with hot links.

As Gailene pointed out in the NECC2008 network, here's the link to the NECC 2008 Ning group for this wrap-up discussion: http://www.necc2008.org/group/necc2008wrapup

Here's a link to the recorded Elluminate session (audio and screen/video): https://sas.elluminate.com/p.jnlp?psid=2008-07-05.0648.M.589A53B224FA53960BB34088144B52.vcr

And the link to the agenda, notes, links, and chat log: http://www.classroom20wiki.com/NECC+2008+Wrapup+and+Review

The last page should be really helpful if folks will continue to add comments and links there. As well, NECC 2008 forum discussion (or here) could serve as an additional place for your thoughts: http://www.necc2008.org/forum/topic/show?id=1997968%3ATopic%3A32749

NECC Wrap-up Show--Live, Saturday, July 5th, 8am Pacific / 11am Eastern / 3pm GMT

I've decided that I'm going to take at least one whole day this next week to focus just on NECC: I'll try to read through all the blog posts, watch as much recorded footage as I can, find podcasts and download them, and look for all the links to cool Web 2.0 applications.

Then I realize that I might not be the only one looking to do this, so if we used our Classroom 2.0 Web Week in Review show scheduled for tomorrow, we could probably collaborate to make a great list of all the resources available.

So we'll be having an NECC wrap-up and review show tomorrow morning--while memories are still fresh! EduBloggerCon, NECC Unplugged, the Bloggers' Cafe, and all the rest. The best links, leads, streams, podcasts, vlogs, and blogs. What you loved, what you didn't. We'll try and document all in a special 90-minute show.

Details at http://www.classroom20wiki.com/live+conversations/, or log in directly for the show at https://sas.elluminate.com/m.jnlp?sid=1101&password=M.8DAFD346DA4B268DC185FED8466556

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.

3. Come to the Classroom 2.0 Birds of a Feather session!
