Room: 106A Presenters: Robert Boltz Audience: K-6 Description:
There's a misperception that tablet devices are only useful as a reading device but can't be used for creating content. This hour-long treasure hunt allows users to discover ways the iPad can be used as creation devices for students.
Room: 106B Presenters: Ryan Berardi Audience: K-6 Description:
There is a digital world of tools ready for use throughout the internet. The excitement surrounding the learning possibilities is vast, but often snuffed out by the chore of sifting through the "trash" (come on...how many more programs do you want to download that will add yet another toolbar to your web browser?). Today's session is an eight year culmination of what Ryan Berardi considers to be the "best of the best" of web 2.0 tools available for use. These free and fantastic tools will be presented within the categories of utility, accessibility, and productivity. Buckle up...this will be fast and furious! (resource list will be provided).
*Note for last year's ETC attendees: While this session has been updated slightly, the 2012 session will largely mirror last year's presentation to accommodate for those unable to attend the 2011 session.
