Blog Buzz    

Steve Dembo (who has a tatoo of John Lennon, btw) gets it right when he asks “Do you feel that ‘buzz’?” on his post about the IL-TCE Conference which started yesterday outside of Chicago. I’ll be heading out there tonight (weather permitting), but I don’t think I can remember a conference with so much bloggy goodness going on:

  • “No more excuses, it’s time to start blogging” full day workshop by Steve. (No seats left)
  • “iPods in the Classroom” full day workshop with Karen Percak. (Full)
  • “Read, Write and Blog” full day workshop with Susim Munshi. (Full)
  • “Wikis and Weblogs as School Communication Tools” full day workshop with Tim Lauer. (No seats left.)
  • “The New Read/Write Web: Transforming the Classroom” and “What’s Up with Wikis?” by, um…that would be me.
  • “Blogging– Revolutionize Education” by Susim Munshi and Susan Switzer
  • “Got Wikis?” by David Jakes
  • “Web Based Communication Tools for Schools” by Tim Lauer
  • “Flickr in the Classroom” by David Jakes
  • “Using iPods for Student Learning” by Karen Percak
  • “Podcasting 101” by Steve Dembo
  • “Telling the New Story” by David Warlick
  • “Radio For Kids, By Kids” by Tony Vincent

    My, my, my…how far we’ve come.

    The “3 Click Rule” Challenge    

    I’m probably setting myself up for trouble, but this is just too stupid not to take up. Seems the teacher whose sites have been blocked was told that any site that is within three clicks of a porn site will be blocked. Meaning, it seems, that just about the whole Internet should be switched off. I mean how about just TWO clicks? Or ONE? A quick search using link:http://www.playboy.com on AltaVista shows that right off the bat we have to block Wired, News.com, Random House.com, the Cyber Law site at Harvard, CNN, and…you get the point. And that took, like, three minutes.

    Imagine three clicks. Oy.
