Conference Presentation

Last week I presented at the 15th annual Conference on Instructional Technologies, which was hosted by SUNY Fredonia this year. The title of my presentation was "Using Blogs and RSS Feeds for Effective Communication." I thought it went really well, I had a lot of fun doing it and I hope the people who attended found it worth their time.

One thing I did not mention in my presentation was something from a users perspective. RSS feeds allow me, the user, to stay up-to-date with more websites than I could possibly ever keep track of if I had to visit each one to see if they were updated. So a benefit I have experienced is that I have 45 subscriptions in my feed reader. There is no way I would manually keep track of 45 websites.

The conference itself was a great experience. It was a very busy week for all involved, but a lot of fun. I really wanted to take tons of pictures, but my camera broke about a week before the conference. So instead I will link to the pictures taken by John Olsavsky of SUNY Fredonia.
