Seats are still available for NERCOMP's upcoming workshop: "Google Apps for Education – Cloudy or Partly Cloudy?"
It is not easy to escape the “Cloud” these days. Equally omnipresent in our minds is the issues surrounding E-mail. Yes, most of us seem to have figured out various ways to deliver email that has been cleansed of SPAM, phishing and malware content, but we still process over 90% junk that clogs our resources. Google Apps for Education (GAE) is a timely topic that addresses both of these issues

Registration is now open for NERCOMP's
upcoming workshop "Educational Mash-Ups 2."
Mashups, created by linking Web 2.0 applications together,
harness the collective intelligence of the internet to create dynamic displays
of engaging information that can be created for a wide variety of disciplines
and easily integrated into curriculums. This SIG will provide a snap shot how
Mashups have evolved in the past year, demonstrate tools that are emerging that
simplify the creation of Mashups such as Yahoo Pipes, Microsoft Popfly and
Dapper, show examples of educational Mashups and demonstrate how they were
built. The meeting will close with a roundtable session for sharing Mashup
ideas.

Shel offers this take on a workshop looking at a very broad topic which offered a slight twist as far as NERCOMP workshops go: all of the presenters came from an academic background rather than a technological one. Says Shel, “My interest in the interaction of technology and pedagogy was well met by presentations combining strategic thinking about what constitutes and shapes a liberal arts education and examples of technology being used in the classroom in a traditionally ‘liberal’ manner.”
Review of "Digital Images Workshop" A NERCOMP event (4/24/06)

Valerie Gillispie reports in about an event that brought together faculty, information technology specialists, librarians, and others who work with images to discuss the impact of digital images on the liberal arts curriculum. The conference was inspired by David Green’s recent survey and interviews with 35 institutions about their use of digital images. She writes, “It seems clear that digital images are becoming a standard component of curricula, and the ability to interpret and critically analyze these images is becoming a required skill for students and faculty."
