AWESOME! That is the only word that can describe the conference. I learned so much and I can't wait to share the new technology I learned with the students. I learned that I was not using my iPod to its full potential. I did not realize all the possible uses in the classroom. I learned how to fine tune my podcast (expect a new one soon), millions of ways to tie the curriculum and technology together. We saw and heard about what other teachers were doing, learned about the Michigan E library, the top 10 uses for Web 2.0, where to buy more gadgets (I REALLY want a smartboard), digital camera tricks, a ton of sites that support the standards and GLCEs and so much more. I will definitely attend this conference again and highly recommend it to others.
Everyone was so nice in explaining things. I was actually surprised to discover how much I already knew. Considering I knew nothing 2 years ago. Thanks to Marilyn Western for inspiring me to use technology in the classroom. Marilyn is the technology teacher of the year and she definitely deserves the award. If you get a chance to take the Cool Tools through our RESD, I highly recommend it. She is so enthusiastic about technology. I left saying "I HAVE to do what she is doing!" Technolgy is my new soapbox. If you teach in my district, I would be more than happy to help you get started.
