Present about teaching instead, and about supporting learning through interaction, and about teaching rhetorical context, and about presentation skills. Then show the tool that allows students to do that online. Blog? What's a blog? Cheers, Bill Hello, Chris,

DrupalEd can also be a walled garden — actually, you can create sub-walled gardens within the walled garden —

I’ll be glad to show you some of the pieces at NECC —

RE presenting about blogging: I wouldn’t recommend presenting on that anymore either. Present about teaching instead, and about supporting learning through interaction, and about teaching rhetorical context, and about presentation skills. Then show the tool that allows students to do that online.

Blog? What’s a blog?
