Our Quarterly Tech Neighborhood Part

Today was the third of our quarterly "Tech Liaisons' Meeting"!
These meetings are heavily attended, and this was no exception!

Our first speaker was Ron Fortunato of the Global Knowledge Exchange

Ron showed us an online resource called "World Wind", and incredible source for useful to teachers across the curriculum with satellite imagery from around the world; a variety of "filters" that adds information about locales, weather, landmarks, etc.

This was followed with an assortment of "Focus Groups" that concerned: Networking, Interact with a WhiteBoard, Videoconferencing, Advanced Powerpoint, Web 2.0 (my group), Inspiration software, iMovie and Claymation.

It's always a pleasure to spend the day at the Tech Center with like-minded folks. Of course most of the professional development happens in the little side conversations...on the coffee line....on the pizza and cola line....Isn't this always the case.
