License to Thrill Workshop

Maybe for the others, but for me it should have been named 'stuff I already do with other programs'. I did learn of some new free programs, but really everything they taught my classes are already doing above and beyond what they are talking about. No classroom applications are really discussed and it seems more oriented for the teacher.

GPS Geo-caching workshop

This was a pretty good one, even though I and Jeff have already done some of this at Richland 2. Got some ideas for extending my uses with World Geography and including more uses with Google Earth to help students get a real understanding of scale and size. Also, setting up caches with items that relate to each other within the curriculum. Students will then get together with their groups to discuss what these items have to do with their studies. Finally, students will get together as a class and the presenter (each student will have a task) will give the class their thoughts, which will be discussed.
Gotta love new Ideas!!!!!

VR Workshop

This is some of the coolest stuff I have ever got in touch with! Can't wait to get to making panoramics of historical sites, or 360 degree pictures of artifacts. This is going to be great.

ISTE Conference in Atlanta

So far, so good. Saw a presentation on Wikis, which was mostly about the presentor moreso than Wikis. It was still good, though, as I got to work on my new wiki at http://www.svitec.pbwiki.com. I will be working on it over the weekend, so check it out!

talk to y'all later on in the conference.

Conference in Atlanta

Me and my boy Jeff are tripping on down to Atlanta for the ISTE conference. I will get back with some details. Peace out!
