<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 150%;">Implications for your Classroom Tips, Tricks and Teleport ISTE 2010 Overall, I consider the conference a success. My goals were to: 1. connect w/ colleagues 2. learn new 21st century skills for to share as a GT TOSA 3. be 'wow-ed' by tech gurus.

My first goal wasn't as easily accomplished as I imagined. When I arrived for the Keynote Speaker on Sunday night I realized the magnitude of the thousands of participants. But, using some 21st century tools (texting and Facebook), I was able to find co-workers, make some plans, and share successes of the conference.

I was impressed that many of the 2.0 tools I've incorporated in my professional development with teachers and my work with students were tools highlighted by presenters. Blabberize, vocaroo, Google docs (to name a few) were tools many presenters shared. Beyond the tools I already know and use, I also picked up quite a few new ones (photbabble, wallwisher, and jing) to name a few. I also learned some different ways to use age appropriate technology, eg DSi to hook students into learning. One group of cutting edge primary teachers use their students' DSi's to teach spelling, build avitars, and video/voice capabilities. Fun!

When surrounded by ed tech movers and shakers, it is hard not to be wow-ed. The presenters were knowledgeable and easy to follow, with the exception of the Harvard professor who read his PPT. Sitting next to other teachers as a participant, I was able to pick up some cool Mac tricks too, like how to zoom on the screen.
