HigherEd BlogCon

Home » Education Trends and Topics » Technology » Blogging » HigherEd BlogCon

I’ve been out of town on safari at Disney Orlando’s Animal Kingdom lodge and boy did I come up with many stories and epiphanies to share with my students and with you in the coming weeks.

Until I get my thoughts together, I hope all edubloggers are spending time at the Higher Ed Blog Con.

I will spend some time reviewing presentations tomorrow, but until then would like to quote the Abject Learning Blog on their take of the conference so far:

HigherEd BlogCon: “
April may the cruelest month but it promises to be chock-a-block full of rich-media chocolatey edu-blogger goodness thanks to HigherEd BlogCon, ‘a conversation on the use of blogs, wikis, RSS, audio and video podcasts, social networks, and other digital tools in a range of areas in academe.’…

Nifty model for a conference — no fees, no sign-ups, and lots of reusable, Creative Commons-licensed materials…”

Vicki Davis has been an educator and IT director in Georgia since 2002. Today, she also works as an instructional technology coach, staying side-by-side with active teachers and students so her work stays grounded in real classrooms.

She's a mom of three, wife of one, and loves talking about the wise, transformational use of technology for teaching and doing good in the world.

She has blogged at the Cool Cat Teacher Blog since 2005 and hosts the 10 Minute Teacher Podcast and Cool Cat Teacher Talk (radio, public access TV, YouTube, and all major podcast platforms), interviewing remarkable educators around the world. Vicki focuses on what unites us — a quest for truly remarkable, life-changing teaching and learning. The goal of her work is to provide actionable, encouraging, relevant ideas for teachers, grounded in truth and shared with love.

If you talk to Vicki for long, she'll encourage you to "Relate to Educate," to "innovate like a turtle," or to be "a remarkable teacher." She loves homemade sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls and runs half marathons with her sisters. You can usually find her laughing with her students or digging into a book.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and telling your friends about the work we do here! - Vicki
