We will be offering a tutorial as part of NI2009, titled ‘How to Weave Web 2.0 Applications for Nursing Informatics and Healthcare Professional Education’. Among the subjects that will be explored from a hands-on, as well as theoretical, perspective, will be:
• the basic format, function, and use of blogs.
• the potential use of blogs in education, professional development, and virtual conference participation.
• readily available Free/Libre/Open-Source Software (FLOSS).
• creating RSS feeds by using a source, such as Feedburner.
• the basic set-up, purpose, and use of podcasts.
• using podcasts in education, professional development, personal use, and virtual conference participation.
• creating a YouTube video for your professional use.
• creating a “team NI2009 conference” wiki.
• using the “peer-to-peer” Skype application.
• exploring “mash-ups” and “widgets” are and how they may be used online.
• discuss ideas about how to access core web-based systems via mobile devices (eg, iPhones)
– and probably lots more. Watch the NI2009 website for tutorial information and how to sign up if you want to participate.
The tutorial blog will be used by participants – http://ni2009tutorial.wordpress.com/

Some of us will be at NI2009 in person (www.ni2009.org – the 10th International Congress on Nursing Informatics in Helsinki, Finland on 28 June – 1 July 2009). We hope we can bring others in virtually to present and participate, but that depends on the technology available at the event.
We know of at least 4 submissions that we have been successful in having accepted for presentation:
1. a paper on 3D virtual worlds in professional nursing education, lead by Margaret;
2. a panel on Web 2.0 for nursing informatics and professional development, lead by Peter;
3. a workshop on personal health records (PHR), lead by Scott; and
4. a tutorial, again lead by Margaret, titled ‘How to Weave Web 2.0 Applications for Nursing Informatics and Healthcare Professional Education’.
More news in coming months on our plans for Helsinki – come and join us!
