Don't forget to check out the happenings on the NECC 2008 Ning the next couple of weeks!
I've posted an area for librarians attending NECC or interested in NECC to post!
You need to be a member of TLNing (teacherlibrarian.org) to add comments!
I was just checking out this site, very nice. I'm wondering if anyone who did attend would like to post links to the materials from their favorite sessions. There's so much here to browse through I'm not sure I'll get through it. What were the best things you saw & heard at NECC?
Thanks,
Pam

Moodle is big on groups... I need to set this up for our LMS staff since we are losing our Blackboard groups.
It is looking like the change won't be too difficult but will take some translation... Spanish to Italian not Russian to English.
Having a problem loading Moodle in the Box app to my Parallels running Macbook Pro... MySQL keeps shutting down. Most everyone else is up and running. The LA tech is working on my problem, but I am watching the presenter take us through what is translating to a an exiting Blackboard user like me.
BTW, the Sunday night keynote had some awesome points to make. James Surowiecki introduced "his perspective on the 'Wisdom of Crowds'" Gonna buy the book I think. I hope there is an audio book, but the hard copy here has his autograph... I think I need the audiobook.
