And a good time was had by all…..

Texas DENnies gathered at nature rich locations in Houston, Austin, and the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex on Saturday May 1 for Photowalking Spring 2010.   After enjoying and photographing the natural beauty around them, groups enjoyed some good food at local wifi spots and  heard Discovery’s Joe Brennan discuss “Using Photography In The Classroom.”  Favorite photos were uploaded to Discovery’s flickr account for sharing with all.

Discovery goes to the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin Texas.   On February 9, Discovery users gathered for a great day of learning,  networking, and general fun.  Presenters from Discovery spoke about the student as collaborator, use of technology in the humanities area and in the math and science areas.    For more notes on these sessions, you may go to http://www.computa-cat.blogspot.com/ and check the older posts.
