Paige Cole with facilitator Peter Kittle and our friends Joe and Susan from Rutgers Writing ProjectHowdy Red Clay,
Before too much time passes, I want to share a little about our experiences at NWPs Tech Matters institute. Paige Cole and I flew out to Chico, CA in mid-July for 4 days of mingling with other writing project folks interested in technology and writing. Heaven, right? I just wish more of you could have joined us. Imagine a summer institue about technology/writing crammed into 4 days (that's supposed to sound good, btw).
We had time to explore technologies (i.e., free online apps like Google Docs, Flickr, Wikispaces, VoiceThread) and talk about their relevance for our teaching and our lives. It's my hope that we can bring these conversations back to Red Clay and share with you some of the ideas and technologies we found exciting.
Paige and I are in the process of writing a minigrant proposal to help fund a tech learning community, and we'd like to invite you to join this tech team. If you're interested, contact me directly (johnny@uga.edu) or respond here on the blog. Enjoy the remaining days of summer!

This blog site is so appealing. The potential seems quite high for those Red Clayers who are interested - which i think is a lot of us - to go deeper in our teaching, learning, and connecting with each other and the world.
