I will be interviewing the keynote speakers as well as others who will be presenting at the conference. This is just a little teaser about the upcoming keynote address by Will Richardson. He will speak about using the Read/Write Web in education, which is something that he knows more than just a little bit about. (Link to Odeo page in case the player dies.) His blog, Weblogg-ed, the read/write web in the classroom, is one of the most visited and most widely read educational technology blogs in the world.
