WOW! The Conference was awesome. The best part was meeting/connecting with with others I have only known on-line. The climate of sharing and helping each other to try to change the way we do business in schools was evident everywhere.
Many people took notes at sessions and posted them immediately to their blogs to share with those who could not make it to Atlanta. My laptop is just too heavy to lug around all day, so my goal for next time is to have a lightweight tablet PC with me so that I can do the same!
The Discovery Educator Network(DEN) hosted a dinner and showed some videos that teachers made at a pre-conference event. They were given a digital videocam and used Adobe Premier's green screen feature to place themselves in the videos. The videos came out very cute... teachers kissing gorillas, running with lions, etc. I HAVE to learn how to do this!
After attending the conference, I know that I need to intentionally focus on strategies to help teachers provide students opportunities to be CREATIVE.... using video, images, and sound to convey a message.
