A Blog Around The Clock

There are 73 days until the Science Blogging Conference. The wiki is looking good, the Program is shaping up nicely, and there is more and more blog and media coverage already. There are already 119 registered participants and if you do not register soon, it may be too late once you decide to do so (we'll cap at about 230). Between now and the conference, I am highlighting some of the people who will be there, for you to meet in person if you register in time.

Careful long-time readers of my blog may have noticed that I sometimes mention and link to my friend David Warlick. I first met Dave and saw The Wizard in action, at the Podcastercon where he led the session about podcasts in education. He is a former teacher and now a nationally renowned speaker/instructor on all things technological in education. It is worth your while to check out his blog 2c Worth as well as his educational podcasts. He also runs Landmark Project for Schools, Class Blogmeister and Hitchhikr and is the author of three books on technology in the classroom. At the Conference, he will be leading a session on Teaching Science: using online tools in the science classroom.

In order to meet him, you know what you have to do: register! Registration is free. Check the map for nearby hotels. And sign up for the Friday dinner.

If you are coming, exchange information about where you are staying, if you are offering a ride, need a ride, or want to carpool on the Ride Board - just edit the wiki page and add the query or information.

Some of our Friday lab tours are now in place, so you can start signing up to join one of them.

Get updates and get in touch with other participants via our Facebook Event group (I see that some who originally responded "Maybe attending" are now registered).

Please use 'scienceblogging.com' as your tag when writing blog posts about it or uploading pictures. You can also download and print out the flyers (PDF1 and PDF2) and post them on bulletin boards at your office, lab or school.
