ISTE 2010

Educational Technology is alive and well in Denver, Colorado! This has been the most amazing 2 days. To see what teachers and students are doing not only across our great country but the world makes me proud to be an educator.
Blogs, wikis, podcasts, vodcasts, social networks, digital textbooks and of course interactive white boards (SMARTBoard) seem to be the topics on everyones mind. I met a group of young ladies today from Centro Escolar Yaocalli a Mexican School just for girls that has been teaching in English for several years "Gastronomy Arts". Their project was a presentation of a gastronomic podcast made by the students, which focused on Mexican Fusion cuisine in order to demonstrate how their local food could be fused with ingredients from other countries.
Tonight we ate at Denver's Original Steakhouse, Buckhorn Exchange. It is a National Historic Landmark restaurant and Western museum near downtown Denver. I had Buffalo for dinner! Had to pass on the Ostrich and Yak though.
We are all exhausted and our brains are filled with so much information that we may not rest for weeks. Tomorrow is the final day of ISTE 2010 and we can't wait to get home and share everything with you.
