I had the opportunity to head out to So Cal a few weeks ago to attend the NMC’s summer conference. My head is still reeling. As with most conferences that showcase real innovation in educational technology, it will take months to sift through notes and links to finally discover what I might be able to use here at the UofS. For a good overview you can search twitter for #nmc2010, but here’s some highlights and notes (I will apologize only once for my awful childlike handwriting) from the sessions I attended.
1. Mimi Ito Keynote: Learning with Social Media: The Positive Potential of Peer Pressure and Messing Around Online

3. Marita Ljungqvist & Maria Hedberg: It’s Not You, It’s Me: A Proposal for a Personal Learning Environment – Nice model for communicating an action plan for PLE’s to faculty; the Media Wheel
