I’ve gotten the lucky honor to be the keynote speaker at Internet @ Schools East in Washington, D.C. in March. It’s a smaller sister to the big Computers in Libraries Conference going on at the same time. Both are listed in the same conference program. The I at SE is a single track conference, but from what I understand it’s open to the CIL folk as well. If you’d a told me a couple of years ago that I’d be doing this, I would have laughed you out of the room. It’s obviously a very cool opportunity to do some serious evangelism, but I gotta tell you, the thought is a little nerve-wracking as well. But hey, challenges are what life is all about. I’m pretty psyched, and hopefully I’ll be “stimulating” ;0).
The other scary part is figuring out how to do justice to Web logs and RSS in education in just one hour. The good thing is that I don’t have a lack of material. The bad thing is that I don’t have a lack of material…if you know what I mean. Any suggestions for what to include, and helpful hints (not including pretend the audience is in it’s underwear type stuff) certainly welcomed. And, hopefully, some of the East Coast blog brethren will be in attendance. Maybe we can do a EdBlogger East…hmmm…
