NECC 2008 July 14, 2008
Posted by Dottie Black in : Teacher Resources, Technology , add a commentI attended NECC 2008 in San Antonio. It has been two weeks and I am still learning and processing what I experienced. Here are several highlights:
There is a new version of Hyperstudio that will be released soon for both PC and Macs.
I was very impressed with the demonstration of IspireData by Inspiration Software,Inc.
Ed.voicethread is the coolest Web 2.0 program I have seen so far. Check out the MathCast wiki with all kinds of examples of using this program for math lessons.
www.jott.com is a great way to send yourself emails using your regular cellphone. Just set up the account and call the jott number and speak your email. You can also send a text message with voice recognition.
The new Classmate PC by Intel is very impressive. There were several vendor booths representing this product and they were crowded every time I went by. You can buy the consumer version on Amazon for 399.00.
I purchased Volume 1 of copyright/royalty-free music from Soundzabound Music Library. You can buy it on CD,CD and online, or just online downloads.
Schooltube.com is another video upload site for teachers and students. Video’s are screened by approved educators before they are approved.
