Wow! Shawn Nutting was awarded the Marbury Award for Technology Coordinators for the State of Alabama. We are so proud of him! Several Fellows presented with Cathy and Sheryl yesterday. We used a form of "speed dating" to share our stories. It was great to share in small groups rather than large with no feed back. I later presented with Shawn about our TETC and Juliana about Eduwikipedia. I am excited about the people I have been able to network with over the last two days! I can't wait to see where those relationships go. Next conference, NECC.
We have begun to think how Skype could be used in our classrooms. A middle school teachers asked for help in finding a classroom in France that they could Skype. I quickly realized that there was not a good way to find interested classrooms. However, while researching resources for Eduwikipedia , I came across a Skype directory. When I selected the Education category there was only one person who seemed to be truly involved in education. I requested his information because he said he was interested in locating other educators in technology to collaborate with. Last Friday night my Skype phone began to ring. Bill Brennan from New York was on the other line. We began to share how technology is being used in both New York and Alabama. I cannot wait to see where this conversation and collaboration will take us.
