Get Your Popcorn Organised! Edublogs Live Web Events Are Ready To Roll!

Wondering where we are at with organizing Edublogs free live events?  Good news is we’re getting there!

Here’s what we’ve set up so far:

1. Free Live Web Events! page where you can access the Elluminate link to the sessions, read about the session topics, find out when they are scheduled and leave feedback on topic suggestions etc
2. A newsletter service so that users can sign up to receive a email notifying them of our upcoming free live events and professional development
3. An Events calendar with dates, times and session topics.  This can be added to your own Google calendar and all events will show in your calendar in your local time
4. Show archives where you will find the show descriptions and links to access recordings and chat logs for each archived Edublogs Live Web Event.  Here is the feed if you would like to subscribe.

And off course you can always watch out for tweets about the sessions from my twitter account 🙂

What Else Do We Need?

Well the great news is we’ve started adding sessions, to be presented by a range of hosts, to the Events calendar but to make this REALLY WORK WELL we need more:

1. Suggestions for show topics – what would  you like covered?  Doesn’t have to be on blogging!
   
2. People willing to present or co-host a show(s) – propose a topic plus date and time that works for you!

Don’t forget if you would like to book sessions for your teachers and/or students specifically on aspects of blogging just let us know!  Leave a comment with your contact details and information on what you would like covered.
