Jenna

Hello from Jenna!!! I am so pumped to attend my first FETC in Orlando. You can find out cool twitter related events and findings as well as my thoughts and reflections from FETC 2010 here on this page as well as on my blog Education Tricks 'n Treats  You can find additional information on Masters Level classes, Web 2.0 tools and more at my wiki  http://jennamarianu.wikispaces.com/  Hope you find my comments and learnings helpful!



A little info on Jen...  I enjoy tweeting and meeting fellow tweeters thru Tweet-ups  I love to play with SMART Notebook 10 software  I have fun finding new apps on the iPod Touch  I have two sons (an 11 yr old & 3 yr old)  I have an extremely supportive husband  I have two dogs - Belle (GoldenDoodle) & Rootbeer (Water Spaniel)  I'm a Visiting Professor with Marian University  I enjoy reading, swimming, camping, golfing & watching the Packers and Badger (both football & basketball)  I LOVE to collaborate with other Educational Technology people!

 ***As a side-note: It is because of <span class="wiki_link_ext">Twitter that this wiki page has SOOOOO much information on it. As I attended one session at FETC there were many others on Twitter attending sessions throughout the building. It is through the communication and connections I have made on Twitter that allowed me to "virtually attend" multiple sessions every hour. Thank you to the many people I follow and who follow me for all of the insightful remarks and sharing the resources I have listed below.***

January 14, 2010 Made it through the first (full) day at FETC here in Orlando, FL. What a day!! There are hundreds of sessions to choose from (most lasting 45-50 min). In between sessions we had time to chat, meet new people and take a stroll through the exhibition hall where there are another several hundred vendors. My morning started out attending "SIMPLE" where the presenter shared many different websites and ideas for use of Web 2.0 Tools. Second, I attended a cool session on how to use a GPS system to teach math, science, social studies / history, mapping skills, and many more concepts. Other sessions I attended included Steve Katz talking about effective video activities with students and Lee Kolbert with Carol Lane sharing more Web 2.o tools during "The Biggest User".

Cool ideas...
 * Have you used your cell phone to: send a text message wake-up call and inspirational quote to your students, take pictures and/or video to then send or post later, use the timer feature to time students in a math fact test or for fluency in reading?
 * What about using a GPS to teach math, reading, research, mapping, social studies, history, teamwork and MORE - like tracking Santa, going on an Easter Egg hunt, finding national monuments, parks, or historical landmarks.
 * Use a digital camera for students to take pictures for a vocabulary scavenger hunt (any subject area)
 * Use the voice memo app on iPhone / iTouch to record a student's reading, have them graph, listen, grade with a rubric and send message to their parents. (NEW App page to be created soon).
 * Showcase students in an iMovie or Movie Maker using a popular or common song to demonstrate an concept or lesson
 * Can't use Skype in your classroom due to IT blocking it? Try tokbox or oovoo instead.
 * Like the idea of a wiki but want to try something else? Try Buzzword and collaborate with others.

I have added a list of all the cool websites that were shared today on my blog page Education Tricks and Treats. Just look under FETC 2010 Links. Some may be duplicates to sites I have listed under other categories, but that just means they really are worth looking at.

My other big accomplishment for the day, besides visiting tons of vendors to see the new tech toys from Mimio, Epson, Promethean, SMART, Scholastic, Microsoft, hp and hundreds more, I was able to meet up with some really awesome educators that I tweet with (some "old" and many "new"). I love the collaboration that occurs on Twitter and the sharing of all the cool tools. In fact, I have more tools BECAUSE I was on Twitter throughout most of the day. Thanks to my special friends @stephenveliz @SteveKatz @TeachaKidd @shoewee and @_happygolucky_ for the great times together!
