Steve Hargadon, creator of Classroom 2.0 and educational mastermind (really, he's put on and created some amazing events) is at it again coordinating a huge "un-"conference event alongside the on site presentations and scheduled happenings at NECC09 in Washington DC June 28th through July 1st.
Here's a quick note about it from Steve's blog:
Tomorrow the fun continues with NECC Unplugged. My personal NECC hero, Anita McAnear, got or gave permission for us to run this again after our first try last year. This is something of an extension of EduBloggerCon but it runs the whole three days of NECC (starting tomorrow, June 29th) and anyone who wants to can sign up to present in our area...The presentations slots are 30 minutes, and this year we actually have our own separate area across the hall from the Blogger's Cafe. AND we are "Elluminating" (live-streaming) the sessions so that those who aren't attending NECC have an additional way to tap into the conference "live." (emphasis added)There are tons of presentations over the next few days that you can watch and listen to online, including:
- Literacy in a Digital World
- Mahara with Sharon Betts
- Research 2.0 (Diigo) with Vicki Davis
- Learning through Alternate Reality Gaming
- Wiki Round table with Adam Frey of Wikispaces
- Teachers without Borders
- Using a Cellphone as a language learning tool
- and that's just some of the events on the 1st day!
All sessions are available to view using Elluminate and there are multiple ways to tune in (through blogs, twitter, etc.). This is the link to the LIVE Room in Elluminate: http://tinyurl.com/neccunplugged but check out the NECC Unplugged Wiki for more (lots more) information.
