Quite a bit of what i do for Discovery is only available to customers, but this one is open to anybody and everybody so I thought I’d throw a plug for it out here too.

If you’re a fan of David Warlick (and let’s face it, if you’re reading this blog then he’s probably on your required reading list already), he’ll be doing a live webinar for Discovery Education’s EdTechConnect series on Wednesday November 15th at 5:00 EST.

Free live webinar with Warlick, you can’t beat that.  If you do want to register, you can find the link at the ETC homepage. 

Just to whet yer appetite, here’s the description he sent us.

You can not attend any kind of conference today without someone standing in front of you and saying, “You must read “The World is Flat.” In this enormously popular and talked about book, New York Times columnist, Tom Friedman makes the case for a world that is increasingly global, where industry is crossing political borders not only for natural resources and cheap labor, but also contracting for the intellectual talent. The emerging and increasingly ubiquitous Internet is promoting a world where geography means very little when it is talent that helps you accomplish your goals.

Over the past two years, we have also seen an enormous flattening of the information landscape where more and more of the content that resides on the Internet comes from conversations than from formal publishing. Individuals are writing and publishing their own digital magazines (blogs) and some of them are making a living at it, entirely independent of publishers and printing.

So what about our classrooms. Are they flat too?

Registration is limited to 200 people, so if you want a seat, register soon!  Heck, grab a projector and sit a group of your teachers down to watch it as a team!  

See you there
