Now I am supposed to learn to swim in this Tsunami!

If you want to see more ways to use online educational resources check out Scott Leslie’s presentation at TTIX (Technology with Technology Idea Exchange. Scott talked about how he has learned to swim in this Tsunami of information we have available to us. I watched him swim too, and I was amazed at how many tools he uses to remix content into this engaging and interactive presentation.

The Grand Poobah of Social Networking at TTIX

One of my favorite parts of TTIX was the constant Twitter feed going on.  Check it out at #TTIX. Sitting through Scott’s presentation with my laptop open and monitoring the feed via Twitterfall was a completely different experience than anything I know of.  I wasn’t even Tweeting but I was more engaged just watching than I would otherwise have been. Before this week I only had a limited vision of the power of Twitter.  Now I know it can be used to win great prizes, like my friend Tom who won an iPod Touch and became this years Grand Poobah of social networking for TTIX. I really dig that hat!

I have to say, I am glad that I haven’t created my course schedule yet for the “Distance Education Tools” workshop I am teaching this summer.  So many things to show them.  Next year I should just email them all and have them meet me at the TTIX conference. Especially since it is FREE.
