 | February 22 - 25: Illinois Computing Educators (ICE) Conference This will be my 7th year attending ICE… But seriously, this is an excellent conference for teachers and administrators looking for ideas on integrating technology with learning. One of the Keynotes this year is David Pogue tech writer for the New York Times! Oh, and check out the break-out session titled Drupalicious: Designing Web Sites with Drupal Open Source CMS on Wednesday. My cohorts and I will be showing off the free Drupal content management system used to build flexible web 2.0 school sites. |
 | March 7 - 10: Drupalcon Chicago The last DrupalCon I attended was 2007 in Barcelona Spain, if you can believe that. It was a wonderful eye-opening experience. Now a days you can attend Drupalcon right here in the ol' USA. And I am so psyched that it is right here in my home town! I will not be presenting... too much of a newb. But I'm going to see if there are enough people for a "Drupal in elementary education" birds of a feather discussion. |

T+L = Drupal
Taking the show on the road again. This time to Phoenix Arizona for the T+L Conference. I and my merry band of misfits will be putting on another workshop on getting started with Drupal (the greatest content management system of all time).
If you happen to be going DROP ME A LINE because I don't know anyone in Phoenix. Scratch that, I do remember with great fondness the proprietor of a hostel I stayed at briefly when I was backpacking through that part of the country. Good times. Good times.
