Online Connections
Posted by Cheryl Lykowski on October 4, 2006
During the time that I took a break from blogging, I didn’t take a break entirely. I faithfully read my list of favorite blogs from my bloglines account. A day didn’t go by that I didn’t have some intense thinking going on after reading someone else’s blog. My problem was taking the time to put my thinking into words and into my own blog. Afterall, that’s the beauty of blogging. Someone posts, someone else reads, starts thinking, and then comments. Then the circle continues.
During my reading I’ve come across two wonderful opportunities to connect with others. First is the much talked about k12 online conference that takes place at the end of October.
Announcing the first annual “K12 Online 2006″ convention for teachers, administrators and educators around the world interested in the use of Web 2.0 tools in classrooms and professional practice. This year’s conference is scheduled to be held over two weeks, Oct. 23-27 and Oct. 30- Nov. 3 with the theme “Unleashing the Potential.”
I am excited about this because some of my favorite bloggers will be presenting, such as David Warlick, Will Richardson, and Wesley Fryer as well as many more. There is also another link on Hitchhikr worth checking out. This looks like it will be an engerizing time full of great tech ideas.
The second great opportunity for connection is Women of Web 2.0.
Women of Web 2.0 is for all women who are using the tools of the internet whether it be in a classroom setting, leading seminars, authoring books, maintaining blogs or wikis, or just enjoying the tools of the internet in an educational and exciting way.
Women of Web 2.0 is brought to you by Vicki Davis, Cheryl Oakes, Sharon Peters, & Jennifer Wagner – four women who not only love using the tools of the Internet but also love sharing the tools with others.
This looks like it will be a great place to share and connect with other women who’s passion is moving forward in the fascinating world of technology. I am glad to have the opportunity to be a part of this connection.
