Invitation to Join Educational Blogging Skypecast

Wesley Fryer is hosting a Skypecast (online conference call) about the pros and cons of educational blogging. His invitation says:

I’ve setup another skypecast for this Tuesday, July 11th at 8 pm US central time called, “Pros and Cons of Educational Blogging Options.” (Use the previous link to actually join the Skypecast when it starts– you might bookmark/favorite that page so you can easily return to it later.) The idea for this Skypecast was inspired by Mark Ahlness’s post “The Case for Classblogmeister” that I responded to and reflected on earlier this evening.

Please join in this conversation if this works with your schedule and is of interest! Some of the blogging tools I’d suggest we can and should discuss include:

Bloglines (for more on this, see Stephen Rahn’s NECC preso)
Blogger
Classblogmeister
Wordpress
Edublogs (for teacher blogs)
Learnerblogs (for student blogs)
Thingamablog (We’ll need Miguel to join us to advocate for Thingamablog!)

It is free to join in, and you don't even have to talk. You can just listen to the others and what they have to say. You can download Skype for free here. Wesley also has some great guidelines in the link to his post above for taking part in a Skypecast.

This is your chance to be a part of the great global conversation that involves education. We should be as knowledgeable as possible as our policymakers look to change the way literacy is taught in the classrooms in Texas. Leave a comment if you plan on taking part.
