Wesley Fryer at Speadofcreativity.org is blogging about the upcoming HigherEd BloggerCon 2006:

a fully web-based event focused on how new online communications technologies and social tools are changing Higher Education. Except as noted, presentations are offered free of charge.

When all the high profile education bloggers start talking about online communications technologies and their impact on education, you know something important is going on. From education help offered online to different tools designed to engage the students and facilitate the process of studies, we’re seeing a lot of change. Which of these innovations are really helpful and which are just toys that’ll come to pass as time proves their lack of effectiveness, we’re yet to see. But to provide and obtain successful education in today’s world, we need to comply with its technical standards.
