There's a definite Web 2.0 flavor to the NMC's activities these days, especially with regards to the conference. Check out some of these sites and services the NMC are putting to use this year: Tumblr, Attendr, PageFlake, Twitter

Michele White of the aptly named Michele White's Blog asks about group blogging within CF Blog...
"On another and probably more important issue in terms of our "experiment" or beta-testing. I do wonder about the functionality of this blog software for a classroom. Any thoughts on whether we can facilitate a group blog so students can more easily read the comments of other students? Are there other options for making our blogs more interconnected?"
The much anticipated foray into blogging! After many months of testing, playing and deliberating, we finally roll out the ILC pilot blog. Supported by Ray Camden's BlogCFC, the pilot will put university-supprted, course-oriented blogging into the hands of professors and students. Actually, for now only one professor - Michele W. - and her new media oriented class, but it's concentrated, quality instruction, so it'll seem like more....
Clay M. is our blogging braintrust. Clay's a huge proponent of open source software, and of BloggCFC in particular. He's been running his own blog with BlogCFC for some time now and loves it. We're going to put it through the wringer and see who well it works in a course environment.
Sheldon J. will also be participating with his own test blog. Particulalry important as we test the functionality and interaction of "group blogging."
Stay tuned...
