Exploring writing, teaching and technology

Dear Colleagues,

This information already went out on the NWPi TLN discussion forum and it does not replace Kevin's query to those who are presenting at the annual meeting. Just to give you a heads up on some of the activities that would be of interest to teachers using and wanting to use technology, here are a few items to consider.

If you’re planning to share Annual Meeting content via twitter, facebook, blogs and other social media spaces, make sure to tag your items with #nwpam09. For more information, as well as ways to list the url of your blog so others can follow you, go to: http://www.nwp.org/cs/public/print/doc/09am/connect

And, as you make your plans to attend workshops and events, please consider the following that are sponsored or co-sponsored by the Technology Liaisons Network or the Technology Initiative, or might be of special interest:
