Will be presenting in about 10 minutes at the NICE mini conference here in Illinois. Doing a revamped version of my Top 10 Web 2.0 for Educators. Most radical change is that I don’t have an aggregator in there. Still kinda torn about that. Part of it is that time is limited, but another piece is that I’m not positive that it’s as relevant as it used to be. Considering people are aggregating via their inbox, via iGoogle, via My Yahoo, within the browser and more. There’s so many ways to subscribe, that I’m not positive it’s worth including an aggregator in this type of fast paced presentation.

Regardless, the current version is embedded below, and the examples I show for each site can be found here.

Let me know what you think! What did I get right, and what did I miss? Above all, please be sure to include WHY. Oh yeah, you can also add your thoughts to this Wall.

I’ve had several requests via email for my Top 10 presentation from NECC, and realized that I should probably post it here. Of course, if it’s worth doing, it’s worth overdoing!

So here’s a link to the presentation slides, such as they are. Most of the presentation is live demonstrations, so they’re only of limited value by themselves.

Here’s a link to the ISTE broadcast of the session. Video looks and sounds great, but they didn’t record what I was doing on the screen until 20 minutes in.

Then there’s my own personal broadcast of it using Procaster and Livestream. It has what’s happening on my screen throughout the entire presentation. However, the camera angle isn’t exactly the most flattering one I could have chosen

This morning I had the pleasure to keynote the MDK12 Digital Library: Access for Success conference. This was my first chance to present strictly for a community of library media specialists (and related titles). I had a great time adapting my Learning to Speak Native presentation for them and certainly expanded my network while doing so. Learned about several bloggers who were new to me, and discovered some great new resources.

I had a few people ask for a copy of the presentation so I thought I’d share it here. So if you like, you can download a copy of Learning To Speak Native: LMC edition.

While I didn’t record the presentation, the non-LMC version was recorded when I presented it at PETE&C and Kristin Hokanson posted it on her blog. If you would like to see the video, you can find it here.
