JoAnn's+Gems+and+Twitter+Finds

Here is the info I gathered at ISTE. I'm sorry but I'm not a note taker, but the URL's should be able to give you a great deal of information. I am also going through the schedule day by day and collecting URL's on topics we might have missed but could be helpful to all of us. I will list my three workshops first and then the additional sessions I attended. I am also posting the best "tweets" from my Twitter groups. There is more than anyone can possibly use so think of it as a "sale." You have to "dig" but you'll walk a way with "bargains" and feeling very satisfied. __Workshops__ 1. New Literacy: iLife and Digital Storytelling in the Classroom http://digitalroberto.haikulearning.com/digitalroberto/digitalroberto/cms_page/view

We created a podcast, added photos, background music, and combined it all in iMovie.

2. Hands-On Media Casting: Learn Live and On-Demand Web http://mentalarcade.com/digital_video/mediacast.html

This was not hands-on, half the room couldn't even connect to the Internet. We watched and he talked and demonstrated.

3. Engaging Learners through Google Lit Trips https://iamliterate.wikispaces.com/iste2010

Another hands-on that was not hands-on. Instructor was totally in control, we did nothing but watch. He made a Lit Trip for a kindergarten class so complicated kids could neither follow it or be interested.
