ITSC Notes v1

This weekend, I have had the privilege of attending ITSC, the annual conference for instructional technology geeks held in Portland.

The Keynote Speaker, Marco Antonio Torres, was absolutely riveting! His presentation is entitled, “Now What Do We Do With IT?” He has accomplished phenomenal things with low income students in a huge inner-city school in southern California.

Be sure to check out his websites:

The two premier workshops that I have attended so far were by Leslie Fisher, a self-proclaimed technology geek, and the infamous Kathy Schrock. Both of these workshops were fantastic! Here is a link to Leslie’s presentation handout.

Be sure to follow the links back to the root domain and see all the free information and funny stuff Leslie has to share!

Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait until this evening for Kathy to upload her presentation handout. But she has so much other cool stuff on her website, it’s worth a look anyway: KathySchrock.net

Don’t miss out on Springfield Middle School teacher Eva Lamar’s website; she has wonderful tips and tricks for promoting literacy using Microsoft Word and Firefox, as well as projects that integrate technology.

Happy surfing!
