GAETC Conference

I attended the GAETC conference today in Atlanta. I walked through the vender hall, but not too many things interested me. I did pick up a brochure on a free social networking type application that seems intriguing. Many of the vendors were showing projection type screens or mobile computing stations.

The three concurrent sessions I attended were quite different. The first session was about creativity and how to use the Internet's resources to spark creativity. The information from that presenter can be found at www.drhowie.com. The 2nd session was about blogging - kind of what I am doing now! I did learn how to send images directly to my blog from my Iphone via email (see picture of my conference badge above). I also learned about some new features of blogger which were very helpful. The presenter for the Google blog was Tammy Worcester and her website with tons of information is found at www.tammyworcester.com. The final concurrent session I attended was about Googlebots and the new tools available by Google. There was a wealth of information, but I felt as though I wanted more connections to educational instruction. The presenter for the Googlebots session was Patrick Crispin and his information can be found at http://netsquirrel.com/.
