Technology in Education…Now What?

FETC, Here I Come!

I am so excited!! Just last week I got permission to attend FETC 2008!

A colleague, MaryAnn, and I are able to go because of the wonderful Discovery Educator Network. Being a part of such a great network not only gives me access to other educators around the world, but it also has given me many opportunities to advance my education with some Professional Development.

Since our district has allowed us to attend, we do have to do some work for them too We will be speaking with several of the vendors and attending sessions to aide us in our future trainings in the schools. We are going to check out 1:1 laptop initiatives, technology camps for students and teachers, and working with Word 2007 and beyond.

This will be my first conference outside of South Carolina so I am excited to see what Florida has to offer. Now I know it has The Mouse, but unfortunately I will not see him. This will be my first trip to Orlando that doesn’t include the Magic Kingdom and Epcot. We are going to Downtown Disney for lunch one day, so I guess that will be my Mickey fix.

Lots of things to plan before I leave, I don’t know where to start!

Look out Orlando, Richland One is coming to town.

Stay tuned for my thoughts on my first out of state conference…
