Have a great time this morning at the #NACADATech Seminar, part deux, and the rest of the NACADA Region 8 conference! Stay connected: http://card.ly/laurapasquini Cheers!

Thanks for sharing & engaging last week at the NACADA Tech Seminar.  I thought the seminar provided everyone with an opportunity to connect and discuss how technology will impact the advising profession both now, and in the future.

Here is a link to my wiki that contains resources, online references, & presentations from last week:

If you have further questions or you would like to follow up on any of these materials, you can best reach me by e-mail (pasquini.laura@gmail.com) or you can fine me on either Facebook or LinkedIn.

Thanks again & be sure to stay in touch,

Laura

If you experienced difficulty connecting to the Wiki I used, please contact me at gsteele@oln.org. The wiki site is located at: http://nacadatechseminar.wetpaint.com/. I mailed invitations to everyone using the e-mail address you used when you registered. The difficulty for some is that the e-mail address supplied is an institutional one and your institution is blocking the invitation coming from a .com. If you have a personal account such as g-mail or yahoo and you send that to me, you should not have any difficulty being invited. Hope you all learned as much as I did at the seminar and had as much fun. Keep in touch!

Hello All!

The NACADA Technology Seminar is only a couple days away. Eric, Karen and Laura have all introduced you to this site as the communication “Hub” for the seminar. In addition, all the faculty have their own Web 2.0 tools they will be using to share with you the content of the seminar. This is how we plan to go “paperless.”

I will be e-mailing all attendees access to my Wiki site on Monday.

So please look for it in your in box.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Best,

George

Seems like a long time ago that Eric Stoller announced that this backchannel (you are reading a blog on the backchannel right now) was ready for us to begin using. For months we have been tinkering with blogs, twitter, definitions, and more. Now its your turn! The seminar begins when you make your first post here…but how will you do it? Start with Twitter!  Go to http://twitter.com and set up an account. If you already have an account, you don’t need to set up another one. You can direct tweets (that’s one nickname for a twitter post) to this site by beginning it  with (or including in it) the “hash tag” #nacadatech09 See the posts to the right for examples.

Welcome to the seminar!!!

Karen recently posted about Google maps and Google Earth over on her blog - Thurmond’s Thoughts. The neat thing about Google Maps is that anyone can click on the “Link” option (it’s to the right of “Print” and “Send”) and copy code which can then be used to embed a map on a blog or website.

For example, check out this satellite view of Clearwater, Florida:

Early registration for the NACADA Technology Seminar is currently underway.
