An information packed day at DEN NI
Today was dedicated to lots of cool technology for education. First we listened to Hall Davidson’s Keynote on using cell phones in the classroom. Thanks to “mizmercer” for moderating the Live Blogging! The rest of the day was dedicated to breakout sessions. There were many choices involving many different uses of Discovery Streaming, Geo-caching, Multimedia Presentations, Second Life, and AFI. I attended Hall Davidson’s session on ways to use DE Streaming with Google Earth. So many cool things to do, so little time! To access Hall’s Google Earth codes visit http://www.discoveryedspeakersbureau.com/node/87 I also attended Brad Fountain’s session on Podcasting. Brad showed us new ways to use Audacity to make Podcasts as well as lots of applications for Podcasting in the classroom. In the afternoon I spent some time with Lance and Matt, Adobe Premiere Elements and some very tempermental computers. After several frustrations we accomplished making a video using the green screen! Too Neat! Dinner was an event within an event! THE DEN CARNIVAL! Cotton candy, games, tickets for prizes and Bingo (Dengo actually). Thanks so much to all of the dedicated Discovery employees who helped make tonight so much fun. Matt M… you can’t stump me with your trivia questions!
