3213 – The Internet is (Should be) Free – Me – 6/21/07
This was my first time presenting on my own. I have assisted other people by co-presenting before, so I was a little nervous. Turn out was great, there was only one open seat and at one point a couple of people were sitting on the floor. I even had a TIE board member in the front row. I was a little jittery, so I need to remember that next time I shouldn’t drink pop before the session, only water.
I presented information about free online tools, and how to use a couple of them. All of the materials are posted on my blog at http://villagegreen.edublogs.org. The second half of the session consisted of presenting two video clips, one on net neutrality and another on copyright/fair use. Almost no one had heard of the term net neutrality before the session, but I think they at least knew enough afterwards to dig a little deeper on their own. All in all I’d have to say it was a successful session. Since it was built on an idea that I started with at last year’s TIE, I’m anxious to see where it goes a year from now.
