I keep trying to schedule an interview with Steve Hargadon, godfather of the Classroom 2.0 social network, but living on the opposite side of the planet from the U.S. tends to get in the way. This is a shame, because I get a lot of inquiries from educators wanting to know more about the vital world of teaching with technology.

So take the following plug as an invitation to check out Classroom 2.0 by participating in tomorrow's live event. The details:

A message to all members of Classroom 2.0

Date: Sat., May 30, 2009
Time: 9:00am Pacific/10:00am Mountain/11:00am Central/12:00pm Eastern
Location: In Elluminate at http://tinyurl.com/cr20live (Links to other time zones and meeting room can be found at http://live.classroom20.com/.)

This Saturday, May 30th Kim Caise, Lorna Costantini, and Peggy George will be hosting another Classroom 2.0 LIVE show. As an extension to the Classroom 2.0 Ning community, Classroom 2.0 "LIVE" shows are opportunities to gather with other educators in real-time events, complete with audio, chat, desktop sharing, and sometimes even video.  A Google calendar of shows is available at http://live.classroom20.com/calendar.html. If you haven't used Elluminate before, we encourage you to view this tutorial to prepare for the Elluminate session: http://www.elluminate.com/support/faq_recordings/FirstTimeUser.jsp

The topic this Saturday is: "Student Web Radio Broadcasts" with special guest Matt Montagne, creator of the Gator Radio Experience on Ustream. Please join us as Matt shares his experiences with his student web radio broadcasts. Links for more information can be found at http://live.classroom20.com. We strive to make our shows beginner-friendly although they are designed to be conversations around using Web 2.0 tools in the classroom. If you've never participated in a live webinar, don't be afraid to come and observe. 'Dip your toes in’ the conversations until you feel comfortable enough to "jump into the conversations with both feet"! We want to encourage "experienced Web 2.0 users" to join us by contributing and extending the conversation by sharing real-life examples and tips/suggestions.

On the Classroom 2.0 LIVE! site (http://live.classroom20.com) you'll find the recordings for our recent "Interactive Stories and Handhelds" show with special guest Tony Vincent. Click on the "Archive" tab to view recordings.
