For my upcoming session at BlogOrlando:
How is the Internet and Social Media changing education? From self-directed curriculum to opportunities for collaborative learning across global borders, the Internet has brought new options for learning to the classroom and beyond. Still there are concerns that the Internet is exposing school-aged children to a wider world they may not be ready for, and that it is denying children the opportunity for real hands-on learning, replacing real experiences with simulations. In addition, concerns about childhood obesity related to inactivity have been raised.
This session will not attempt to answer these questions, rather it will be a discussion about them. We will discuss what is going on in different districts and what individual school children are doing. We will compare our own experiences as parents, as educators and as learners.

Blog Orlando is a no-questions asked must attend for the social media marketing blogochatosphere. Josh never fails to put together a fantastic line up of interesting people and experts from every walk of life and profession.
This year’s BlogOrlando is scheduled for September 25 – 27.
This year, I’m doing something a bit different. I told Josh I’d love to talk but I felt the “Blogging Meets Marketing” meme was a bit tired, at least for me. It was time for me to let others speak on the subject. So this year I’ll be leading a discussion on how social media is impacting education. Given my interest and experience in the topic as a homeschooling parent, this is a topic I’ve wanted to explore for a while. So I’m looking forward to learning more myself as September approaches.
