Web 2.0 Speakers
Posted August 4th, 2008 by Alan LevineA colleague of mine is putting together a Web 2.0 workshop for an audience comprised of federal, state and local employees, and asked me to suggest some speakers. These might include people who can speak on a macro level, as well as those who can speak to particular aspects of Web 2.0 -- VR, social software, blogs, wikis, podcasting, etc. If anyone on the list has heard someone recently who knocked your socks off, can you send me their names

Some Interesting Stuff on Technology Use at Penn State University
Posted July 25th, 2008 by Alan LevineRecently blogged by Cole Camplese, "Recently I was asked to share some 'interesting statistics' about what is going on here at PSU and on a national level with the use of technology by young people. Here are some points I thought could resonate. I didn’t editorialize too much, but my basic thoughts are below. What strikes me is how this leads us to such obvious conclusions about where time, energy, and dollars should be applied within our environments."

2006 NMC Regional Conference
Posted December 5th, 2006 by NMCNov 8 2006 - Nov 10 2006
NMC Regional Conferences are one-of-a-kind events, each very much a reflection of the host institution. In fall 2006, the NMC came to Texas for a very special regional event that was held on the campus of Trinity University and hosted by the Center for Learning and Technology.
Befitting the rich traditions of Trinity and its sister institutions across the southwest, the conference brought together scholars & technologists from across the region to explore new ideas, discuss the issues which surround them, and share stories of successful efforts. Attendees stayed at an historic Spanish hotel located downtown on the famous River Walk, an area steeped in the traditions of Old San Antonio.
