Girls in IT
This week I went to my first Computer Mania Day organization meeting. I am going to help with the Registration on the day of the conference. This purpose of Computer Mania day is to spur girls to become interested in technology. The longterm goal is to get them to pursue technical and engineering careers. Since I happen to teach a computer class and have a very low enrollment of girls, this particular topic is of interest to me. As I find articles of interest, I will post them to this blog.

Michelle2007.04 MICCA – Social Computing in the Enterprise
I attended the MICCA conference today in Baltimore, MD. I also presented my paper Social Computing in the Enterprise. I have been a member of MICCA on and off since 1998. I have presented three times. I always meet great people and learn a lot.

The keynote speaker today was David Warlick. He told us that in a world of rapid change, we need to teach the students how to teach themselves. We need to maintain our classrooms as learning engines. We also need to have our own personal learning network.
Below are some links and books that Mr. Warlick mentioned.

Will Richardson reminded us to model learning for our students. The kids need mocels to show them how to learn, especially in the Read/Write web. Below are some links that Mr. Richardson mentioned.

Davina Pruitt-Mentle talked about Cyberethics, Cybersecurity, and Cybersafety (C3). This presentation brought out the issues involved with the Read/Write web. Eventually the issues will have to beresolved. Which issues you ask? The security and privacy issues and the desire to let our children experience the Read/Write web as authors and creators of content. Please see Ms. Pruitt-Mentle’s web site for additional information. There are many GREAT resources there for teaching your kids the C3 topics.

I met two nice gentlemen in my session. One of them, Robert owns Virtual Studio. Please check it out at http://www.multimedia206.com. When I described my listening to podcasts on the way to work and back or anytime I am in my car, Robert gave me this definition, “Time shifted consumption of content,” which means listening to your audiobooks and podcast in the car or during your daily walk. Thank you Robert! Baynard shared TeacherTube with me, http://www.teachertube.com/index.php and the fact that I can record Alice output. Baynard and Robert, thank you both for being the people in the audience I could look at for support. They both shook their heads and looked like they were listening to my every word. Thank you!

2007. Moore, Thelma. “SkillsUSA Program of Work.” SkillsUSA Maryland Annual Conference, Ocean City, MD.
During the presentation I spoke to approximately 400 SkillsUSA Maryland student chapter leaders about the Skills USA Program of Work. The program of work is a way for the student leaders to organize their chapter, set the calendar and communications for the year. During the conference I also had a tremendous amount of contact with the students which I always love. Unfortunately I got the chickenpox a few weeks later. 🙂
Presentation Date: 11/1/2007

IBM Basic Training 1988
I attended IBM Basic Training in January of 1988 with this group of people. We were on third shift in Chicago in the winter. The training consisted of basic electronics on up to learning to fix various computers (I can’t remember the models at this time).
Every evening as we walked to the IBM building from the Hyatt, our temporary home, the wind from the river faithfully met us to freeze us to the bone. It was the first city where I saw ropes around the building to prevent people from falling.
