Readers’ Choice Awards
Congrats to all of my fellow bloggers for doing a great job covering this year’s conference. Special thanks goes to Ben Rimes for his leadership during this project.
It has been really nice to go back and read about sessions I couldn’t attend. I spent a huge chunk of yesterday afternoon using the stuff Hall Davidson presented on Google Earth even though I was presenting at the same time. I went to Ben Rimes’ GE session and took what I learned there and combined it with Hall’s links. Want to catch fish on Hutchins Lake in Fennville? Find the KMZ file here.
A handful of us covered the conference as “official” bloggers but we have 100s of potential bloggers. The beauty of a blog is that it is a two-way street. Now is your chance to share your favorite sessions and cool ideas you took away from the conference.
Whose session we haven’t discussed deserves some recognition? Let your voice be heard.

I was familiar with some of the research conducted by the Thornburg Center, of which Lynell Burmark is a part. However, her presentation at MACUL was still engaging and encouraged me to consider the impact of visual learning. Perhaps what captured my attention the most was that there are 1,000,000 fibers from each eye to the brain whereas there are just 30,000 from the ear to the brain. Yet where is most of the instruction in K12 classrooms directed? To the ear. I shared some more thoughts about this session on the Muskegon ISD tech integration blog – see the Multimedia category (blogs.muskegonisd.org/techintegration).

Steve Dembo for the win! His presentations are fast, furious, humorous, and even the most neophyte technology using teacher can still take one or two gems away from his tech-heavy presentations.
