I was invited to speak on three panels at the AEJMC annual convention in 2008. Here's a summary of what I said on each one, and some relevant links.
Tuesday, Aug. 5. Pre-conference session at Columbia College: The Past, Present and Future of Civic/Citizen Journalism (three panels).
Our goal was for the four panelists to explain how writing a blog has benefitted us in myriad ways. Everyone had some similar experiences, but we each managed to address different aspects of how blogging turns out to be great for the blogger.
My PowerPoint is on Slideshare.
Here are some additional resources for journalism educators who are interested in blogging: Blogs and Journalism.
Panelists:
Friday, Aug. 8. Visual Communication division luncheon at the Chicago Tribune.
The VisComm educators include those who teach photojournalism, page design, infographics, and in some cases, multimedia skills. The two journalists from the Tribune were wonderful; they showed us lots of examples.
I spoke about multimedia training modules we can add to existing journalism curriculum. My PowerPoint is on Slideshare. Also, all of my course syllabi are online.

Saturday, Aug. 9. This teaching panel, sponsored jointly by the Newspaper and Magazine divisions of AEJMC, provided teaching ideas and concepts to educators with a primarily print journalism background. Amazingly for this time slot (on the last day of the convention), the panel presented to a full room.
I showed two unusual examples; links and details here.
