Tech Friends Dinner at Devil's Alley Restaurant
November 20, 2009 from 7:30pm to 9pm
The Tech Friends Informal Philly Meet Up is on Friday night. I'm a bit stressed because I reserved a room at this place and told them 25-30 people for dinner. The place has a group-rate $20 per person fee, which includes a dinner selection but you...

Prezi rocks

(this is reposted from my blog)



I have heard about Prezi from a few folks and even ventured to the site once or twice, but I could not wrap my head around it. You know how it is: you have a concept of something (ie, presentations use powerpoint, which are a formal sequence of slides moving forward) and it is difficult to shake loose. Just imagine when w… Continue

All-Network Messages


I try not to overload anyone's email box with messages from Tech Friends. I am conscience of your time and focus. But Fred mentioned that he did not seem to be getting all-network messages and felt left out of some of the conversations. So, if you go into your settings (link on upper right) and then… Continue

Reviewing The Digital Writing Workshop

(Note: this is cross-posted over at my blog)



I'll start out by saying that the author of this fantastic new book -- The Digital Writing Workshop -- is Troy Hicks, a friend of mine through the National Writing Project and one of the chapter authors in my own book… Continue

Meet the eTeam

Shirley Brown, who works with the team that facilitates NWP's E-Anthology, posted this to the TLN discussion. Thought you all might be interested, in case you didn't see the original post:

• Did a member of the E-Team help you move a piece of writing forward on the E-Anthology this summer?

• Would you like to meet this E-Team member in person?

• Are you attending the Annual Meeting of the NWP in Philadelphia this month?

If so, please come to the Friday workshop session B-15 * from 3:30 -5:30… Continue

Thanks, Kevin. I also really like the Myths vimeo by November and after watching it I saw one of yours on Dreams that was way cool. I love the art work. How were they made?

Thanks for the welcome. A NZ connection sounds strange I know - but I am from NC and a '91 participant of the SI at NCSU-CAWP. Ruie Pritchard, Director of CAWP, had a Fullbright to NZ in the 80s and after that started bringing Kiwis over for the writing project each summer. In 1991 I met - and eventually married one of these New Zealanders and have lived/worked in NZ for the last 12 years. My field is information and communication technology - and - in addition to doing some research with Ruie over the years - have served as one of two tech liaisons for the last 4 years - which has been great. I have really enjoyed being on the Tech Liaison ListServ too!

Oh my gosh Kevin, I had no idea about this writing project. There is one literally up the street from me at Cal State Northridge. Wow! A whole new world just opened up. LOL. How funny that I just stumbled upon your Ning. Thanks again!

Oh, sorry, now I understand what the question meant. LOL. My bad. No, no national writing project. Just my own. :) Thanks!

Thanks for the welcome, Kevin. I plan to be both cannibal and thief here, as in the U2 lyrics: "every poet is a cannibal, every artist is a thief" (or something like that); anyhow, substitute "teacher" and "tech liaison" and it would mean the same thing, right.

Oh, and I'll donate a bite of my own flesh to others as I can.

Thanks for the welcome, Kevin. And hat's off to Corey H. for turning a bunch of us at a NWP training onto this Ning. I'm looking forward to learning lots from this PLN.

Thanks for the welcone. I am very very happy to be a tech friend as I am definitely a digital immigrant. I need all the friends I can get.
