At FETC Orlando

Great people, good ideas.

Presented Curriculum Enhancement with Web2.0, Wednesday, January 21 4-7PM. Worked well with Chris and Hope. As one participant said in a subsequent email, "made a good tag team". Individuals were from Massachusetts, California, and Tennessee. Have the opportunity to continue to network with them, collaborate, learn from each other.
That is one of the best experiences offered through conference attendance.

On Thursday I met with AtomicLearning to discuss ways that service has assisted me personally, as well as how it is a help to my school and my district.

I was able to attend the keynote address by Phillipe Cousteau and came away with an increased awareness of just how the world has changed and that we must be vigilant in caring for the planet.

The reception and vendor time offered a new experience for me as I was invited to assist in the Tech4Learning booth. I am a grant recipient for Digital Storytelling with Pixie.

I headed back to Pasco County, FL on Friday morning as I had to return to work. This FETC was one of giving back to the profession.

iMovie practice

I made a video. You might think, so what? I've used iMovie before, but this was different. I used the video as a means to practice GarageBand, iPhoto, and iMovie 08. By honing my own skills I gained confidence to be able to provide more assistance to other educators. As an MDE, I believe it is important to continue to increase our knowledge on all the digital tools available to us. If you don't use it, you lose it. That is really true in this digital world we live in. Stay in touch with what is going on by checking the MDE portal on Moodle and keep using digital tools available.
