Camp Plug and Play 2.0

Well hello to all! I have been away from blogging for a bit here just with school ending and me being elected to the AEA board of directors and all. I am actually now on summer break and how am I spending it? Working!!! Of course because this is what I do. But this is something I really do enjoy a lot. I am in Tucson, AZ at the AZ K-12 Center's Camp Plug and Play 2.0 otherwise known as Tech Camp. Yes, that is right I am teaching down here. You may ask, what have I been teaching. I am teaching other teachers from across Arizona how to build and manage their own websites using a program called NVU. If you would like to download it because it is open source and is a basic WYSIWYG editor then click here

I have also had the priveledge of hearing a great guest speaker and working with great company. Tony Vincent who presented last year when I was working down here at tech camp is here again. He has been showing us many things, such as how to create blogs (something I already knew, but I learned how to enhance my blog even better), podcasting--searching for it. He has also show us how to subscribe to many different blogs and then to categorize them in a program called Bloglines. I think I will start to use this to keep up to date with many different blogs, like e-mail. He also showed a cool little widget which we can put onto any web page which includes our own blog, it is from grazr.

Well, that's it for now I am going to head out to the jacuzzi and meet with other participants and trainers to talk about the day. See you later.
