My PLN

For my Professional Learning Network I attended the Teaching with Technology Showcase. One of my workshops was the Strategic Transitions presentation. This workshop focused on how to teach with an iPad, handheld testing units that students can use with predetermined routes, a Promethean board, Kidspiration / Inspiration and Speak Q.

I found several of these very interesting such as how much the Promethean Board can do. It is very useful for group work because it is built like a table that groups can sit around.

I chose this because it sounding like it would be interesting (so did Microsoft, but that was a 15 minute promotional pitch flop in my opinion). I do not know if I will be able to use these technologies, but if and when I can I have been able to see only the tip of the iceberg and I am very interested in discovering what lies beneath.
