How to pack 3 days into 1 - Our last day at ISTE 2010

Our time in Denver is quickly coming to an end. The conference was amazing and we are filled with wonderful ideas to implement in our district.

Our morning started out really early as our first sessions began at 8am. That meant up and out, leaving our apartment by 7:30 to beat the morning rush hour traffic on the train.

My first session was about creating a Personal Learning Network. The speaker, a professor from Minot ND provided lots of great ideas and insight for developing your PLN. He provided several links that I was not aware of but will definitely be checking out once I get home.

I also attended a SMART presentation about utilizing interactive white boards in secondary science classes. The young lady taught in a small school in Minnesota and used every aspect of SMART technologies in her Chemistry, Physics, Forensics classes.

We met so many wonderful people, received outstanding instruction and saw so much amazing educational technology. I can hardly wait until next year. ISTE 2011 in Philadelphia is already in my calendar!

The conference ended at 2:30 and we headed out to take in more of the sights. What an adventure! More about this later as we have to leave for the airport so I'd better get packing.

Check out my video of the SMART Technologies booth! These guys are amazing.
