Tom Hoffman, Steve Burt, Will Richardson and I will be presenting a 3 hour workshop at NECC (National Educational Computing Conference) next week in Philadelphia. With the rather long title of... TA307 Effective Weblogs in Education: How to Create, Manage, and Communicate! the workshop session will discuss and demonstrate how schools are using weblogs and discuss the strategies and solutions for challenges created by their instructional use.

Flickr Album is an alternative way to view photos from Flickr. Written in Flash, it takes advantage of the Flickr API to display photos in an album view where you drag the corner of the page to turn the page. Albums can by displayed using a user name, or you can create albums based on tags. Kind of a fun little hook into Flickr.
