Hi everyone,
I'll be attending the EPA conference in NYC Friday and Saturday and
I'll be doing what they call "live tweeting" the event, which simply
means that I'll have my laptop and iPhone with me and will be
regularly sending tweets to my twitter account. I'll be tweeting
things like a) great quotes from the presenters, b) brief descriptions
of interesting events while they happen, c) links to presenter
websites, d) pictures, etc. I've been in contact with the conference
organizers and we'll have an official hashtag that other twitterers
can attach to their posts so you can follow other people's tweets as
well. More on that to come.
Hopefully this will be useful and interesting. You might tell
students about it as well - might be a neat way to "virtually attend"
the conference. If you or your students are new to twitter, here's a
brief YouTube video that explains how to get started and how to use it
in the classroom:

I'll send out another email as soon as I know what the official
twitter hastag will be (I think it will be: #epaconf). My twitter
username is mbritt in case you or your students want to follow along!
