Hope to see you in Lake Charles at TNT!

It is that time again this year when the Region 5 TLTC works with the annual conference Teaching and Technology (TNT). It is the 11th year for this conference and they are expecting 700 attendees on October 3, 2009. The conference is open to region 5 folks but hopefully there will be some Tweeters there to document all the great things going on that day. You will find me at the booth with the Intel Banner working the table by handing out flyers and bookmarks. I will be doing a session at 1:35 PM entitled License to Thrill: Tools to Capture your Students' Interest. If you are there then please stop by the session or the booth to say hi. I am looking forward to a great day and some good shopping and eating the night before the event.

Discovering Discovery Education

I just conducted my first training with Discovery Education Streaming. Wow! This tool come a long way since the days of United Streaming. I had a few fellow educators from the Department of Education join me for lunch and a training. I was limited in time but what a productive hour!

What a great resource! Does it matter who you follow or why? I guess that depends on your use of Twitter. I see this site as an important tool in determining my future follows. You can see the recommended list of those to follow - Don't worry Mr. Tweet I won't abandon you. You can also select a user to view their conversations. I plan on researching my BFFs (determined by conversations) to see their BFFs. Gosh! I never thought I would use the BFF term again in my lifetime. I am not surprised that @gardenglen is my top BFF. He is one of my best Intel friends. I look forward to using this site to expand my network. I am hoping to locate other Louisiana educators through this venue. Once I locate one then the rest should be cake...with twitter.mailana.com!
