Today I’ll be giving a presentation about podcasting to about a hundred prominent legal bloggers at BlawgThink 2005. Sound strange? An educator/tech geek presenting for a bunch of lawyers? Well, I can’t argue with you.

It all came about when I attended BlogWalk 6.0 last year in Evanston, IL. While there, I met Matt Homann and Dennis Kennedy, both of whom are lawyers who blog, or ‘blawggers’ as they have nicknamed themselves. They have both devoted quite a bit of brain power to ideas regarding legal reform, just like I’ve spent many a commute considering education reform. We hit it off right.

Anyway, Matt invited me to present at BlawgThink this year which I’m very happy to do. It’s funny, I’ve done a ton of in-services for teachers over the years, but don’t really have much experience presenting at workshops. Considering I’m conducting a workshop on podcasting at this years IL-TCE Illinois Computing Educators conference, this sort of gives me a trial run at it. Obviously the spin is a little different, but the basics will be the same.

I’ve looked over the schedule and there seems to be some great sessions, even to someone who hasn’t been through law school. I don’t know if I’ll be able to blog any of them, but I’ll try.
