The PressEd Conference (still going as I’m putting this together) was today. It’s a conference on Twitter, about WordPress in education. No travel. No expenses. No fees. Maybe not even pants.
THERE WAS SO MUCH COOL STUFF. Take the rest of the year off and sort through #pressedconf18.
What better way to collect the stuff from my presentation than on WordPress (good suggestion, fellow #pressedconf18 presenter, Alan Levine!)
Here’s my collection of tweets about Ontario Extend.
Welcome to @ontarioextend, #PressEdConf18!
Mike and Jim from @FaithNoMore sent us in A GIF-based query about Ontario Extend, so we will spend the next 15 minutes in 15 tweets telling you all about it. #youwantitallandyouCANhaveit https://t.co/ZQM05VCgdu

6 modules based on the 21st century educator.
The framework for @ontarioextend’s content was put forth by @simonpbates of @UBC. We have created an openly licensed (CC BY SA NC) website to house the modules. (using wordpress)#PressEdConf18

Extend is the opposite of a visit to a national park. Leave your stuff everywhere. A trail of your participation.
Current cohort of “East-Ender Extenders” https://t.co/MQGcgV6qzH leaving their mark so that others can use their work as cues for their own. #pressedconf18
