SINI 2009

Just returned from the Summer Insitute in Nursing Informatics at the University of Maryland in Baltimore http://nursing.umaryland.edu/sini/index.htm. It is a great conference with an outstanding group of people and I had a wonderful time networking with longtime and new colleagues as well as learning from the presentations.

The conference is being tweeted by Peter Murray, Margaret Hansen, and Scott Erdly (#sini2009) or http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23sini09 and blogged a thttp://www.hi-blogs.info/

My presentation "What is RSS and What Does it Have to do with Nursing" is below:

While reviewing my favorites list one resource I should have included was MedWorm (http://www.medworm.com/) with its 6000 healthcare related RSS feeds!

Impressive Microsoft Offerings for Schools

Microsoft is bringing its widely adopted Live@edu collaboration suite to Moodle, the open source learning management system (LMS) that's installed at more than 35,000 registered, validated sites worldwide. Microsoft also unveiled today its new Education Labs site, which will serve as a repository for education software developed on an accelerated cycle.
