WOW! I made sure I was here early to stop at registration, check out the snacks in the Speaker’s Room (always a great perk of presenting,) make sure all was well in my Preso room (was warm – tech guys took care of temp,) grab some more snacks, and then get a good seat for Opening Keynote – Superintendent Flanagan.
Feeling inspired I went to my Presentation and talked Wikis and Web 2.0. (You can’t talk wikis without talking Web 2.0) Showed a few of my new favorite sites – www.thatquiz.org, www.glogster.com/edu, and www.twitter.com. (I owe most of Web 2.0 knowledge and connections to Twitter – Twitter is my PLN!)
My presentation has been inserted below this blog post.
My students were waiting for me when I was finished and we quickly set up our Student Technology Showcase displays. They were amazing and talked about their Claymation Projects and Class Movie Making for almost 2 hours.
Next I made my way over to the Pantlind Ballroom to watch Hall Davidson (Anyone want to fund moving sidewalks on the skyway?) Hall is always amazing. Great Mash-Up Ideas. Insert Discovering Streaming video (or clip) into Voice Thread, have students watch and comment. Insert pictures in Google Earth file. He is using different Screen Capture Programs including Cam Studio (Open Source – free) and Jing (Also free.) Gotta Pay attention now – Hall is showing something amazing again…
