In preparation for the ELI 2007 Annual Meeting, I interviewed recent North Carolina State University graduate Carie Windham on the issues behind her upcoming annual meeting featured session, "Father Google and Mother IM: Confessions of a Net Gen Learner," scheduled for Tuesday, January 23, from 1:30-2:30 PM, Eastern.

Windham's session will take a look at how the Net Generation views and uses technology, and what those views and uses mean for higher education. In addition to summarizing some of the key points in her presentation, the interview allowed Windham to discuss relevant issues she won't get a chance to cover during her session.

ELI will post the full audio from keynote and featured sessions after the conference, so check back to hear more from this Net Gen learner about teaching, learning, technology, and the Net Generation.

Hello from the 2006 Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference of EDUCAUSE.  This is a podcast of the first general session from Tuesday, January 10, 2006 delivered by Richard N. Katz, Vice President of EDUCAUSE.  Below is a description of the session.

"A UC Berkeley professor once described IT as an irresistible force cutting a channel through our institutions.  At times, many of us think of our institutions themselves as immoveable objects.  This session will outline some of the key technologies that are coursing their way though our institutions.  It will also raise issues about how IT leaders and practitioners can foster change and will establish how powerful new channels are indeed being cut through higher education and beyond."
