Hi, Steve,
I'm going to be in Providence, RI, to speak at the NEATE conference on Oct. 23-24. New England Association of Teachers of English. I don't know whether that is worth your time, or whether you would want to suggest someone from your district, but if you wanted to get more info about the free K12 tools of ePals, I'll have it in the "booth" they are giving me. I'm speaking about 9 a.m. on Saturday, about using technology with students of limited English proficiency and showing how to use the ePals global community, email for students, and projects.
If you don't know ePals, check us out: www.epals.com.
Best, Rita
Welcome to the ISTE NECC 2009 Ning! If you aren't aware of what a Ning is, it is a social network like Facebook, but created around a specific interest such as NECC.
You are now an important member of a year round social network where educators can make plans for the upcoming conference and start discussions to continue on site as well as share tech ideas, resources, questions, and suggestions with other educators. If you can't attend the conference, you can still participate and find out what opportunities you can take advantage of without physically being there.
The forums are divided into general discussions and discussions specific to conference sessions, usually started by the presenters. There are over 90 groups ranging from ISTE affiliates and SIGs to groups discussing particular areas of ed tech as well as a NECC Newbie group.
