SIGTEL (SIGOL) Forum with SIGDE June 29
From:   Manorama Talaiver <mano@nitpr.us>
:
As desired by many of you, SIGTEL will become SIGOL to reflect online
learning.
As suggested by you, in order to includes all learners including those
with special needs,  our SIGTEL forum in NECC was designed to create
cyberlearning for all students.  The FORUM (June 29 12 noon to 4 pm
with lunch) will have to be CANCELED if we do not have participants.  
As of now, we have only two registrations.
We will give three more weeks for registration.  If we do not have at
least 75 to 100 participants, we will cancel the forum.

If you have heard AARON DOERING at the Society for Information
Technology & Teacher Education, you would invite others to come and
join you.   As a keynote, you blew me away.  JEFF SALE is going to show
you how ALL students can create MASHUPs and collaborate with each other
in online learning environment.   BONNIE THURBER will show  examples of
a variety of student work including stories, essays, poetry,
voice-messages and videos using a variety of internet based tools that
are linked together and shared in the iCollaboratory.

I hope you will invite your friends and make this event happen.

SIGTEL and SIGDE cosponsor Forum at NECC 2009
CyberLearning for ALL Students for Success (CLASS)
Learn to create CyberLearning environments using various communication
and networking technologies, and other applications such as Mashup to
enable ALL students, including children with special needs to
participate in telecollaborative projects or in online courses. Learn
about existing collaborative projects created for your students. We
will also discuss how to provide professional development for new
online teachers.
Speakers are: Bonnie Thurber, Jeff Sale, and Aaron Doering
Date: June 29
Time 12 noon to 4 pm

Jeff Sale - Presentation Focus:
A mashup, according to Google, is "a Web site that combines content
data from more than one source to create a new user experience". This
session will introduce mashups to K-12 educators focusing on
collaborative approaches to mashup creation in a variety of disciplines
including science, politics, society, art, and history. We will
demonstrate how students from different parts of the world can work
together to create mashups that help them learn about other communities
and cultures, with an emphasis on map-based mashups that are very
accessible to teachers and their students. The process by which
students can work together to create a group-based geo-referenced image
mashup with be shown in detail. More sophisticated and even some
entertaining mashups as well as mashup authoring tools will be
introduced, and links to a fuller introduction to these tools will be
provided. Applications to be demonstrated include Google Earth, the
Google Mashups Editor, and Microsoft Popfly. Participants will attain a
basic understanding of mashup development technologies, examples of
mashups useful in education, collaborative tools used to support mashup
creation, and they will be provided with an account on the SDSC
Discover Data Portal, a collaborative education portal built with
Moodle, to continue their mashup explorations following the workshop.
Bonnie Thurber - Presentation Focus
