Reaching Readers in the Digital Age

On Thursday I went to a presentation entitled "Reaching Readers in the Digital Age." I know a teensy bit about technology, so I was a bit jaded going into this session. Usually presenters show you PhotoStory, Wordle, or PlayAways and call it "innovative." This was different. It was nothing like I expected. For one thing there were no handouts. Groundbreaking! She gave us a postcard with a Wordle on the front with her Glogster address on the back. She presented using Glogster entirely to link to the Web 2.0 sites and examples she wanted to showcase. It was too cool. I'm sharing her Glogster presentation with you so you can see it in action. Too neat!

Play around with the Glogster and tell me what you think! Become a follower of my blog to see more ideas!

I'm sleepless in Louisville, Kentucky. Why? Tomorrow I get to attend yet another day of informative sessions about integrating literacy and technology. The sessions so far have been interesting and the presenters have been full of new ideas. Stay tuned for helpful hints and tutorials I have picked up during the conference.
