Eating one meal a day seems to be the only option for this convention....
Anyway, I attended my first three hour workshop Monday morning, 8:30 – 11:30 AM, Make It and Take It: Blogs, Wikis, and More, presented by Gail Lovely. Although there were connectivity issues, I was able to set up a wiki for potential uses in the classroom, most likely as a presentation tool with links and graphics and attachments needed for lessons. I was also able to create a blog site, which I think will be more useful and child-safe for use with my students this coming school year as I implement the Intel unit I created during the hybrid course. I think I like it better than the one I created during the hybrid training at edublogs. The facilitator for this workshop thinks edublogs has issues--I'm sure being child-safe would be one of them. Beside, students won't have to have an email address for the yolasite in order to blog, unlike the wiki wetpaint site.
More later on the other workshop I attended as well as my experiences with the exhibits.

I'm not a fan of Edublogs, but I know lots of folks love it. I had trouble with the interface I tried to learn it. I took a look at WetPaint - love that it combines the wikis and the blogs in one spot. Looks easy to use....
