Great tool - maybe a way to schedule conferences? I'll try it this fall and let you know how it goes!

Take a look at PicKATime for conference scheduling. Ours is up right now so you could look at it on our site - emanuelnl.org/school Works great and parents love it; not free through. $50 a conference. We think it is worth it. The secretary sets it all up and teachers have access and see their own scheduled conference times. I find youcanbook me works well for teachers setting up individual conference tmes with me for purposes of their tech growth planning throughout the year.

The Reform Symposium is a free, online, global conference organized by my friend Kelly Tenkely (and several others).

Perhaps we should have regional/national Pecha Kucha presentation conference with iPads as prizes?

Recap of this week's keynote at the FETC Conference in Orlando by Jaime Casap, Global Education Evangelist at Google. He told attendees about the ways technology has -- and will continue to -- change K-12 education. Among other things, Casap said technology is causing students to learn in new ways and is providing them with almost constant access to information. The changing landscape, Casap said, makes it even more important for teachers to have access to professional development and for there to be a focus on digital leadership in schools.

YouCanBook.Me is an appointment scheduling tool that works with Google Calendar. We are looking for a solution for scheduling home visits and parent/teacher conferences. This might work well!

I used this for home visits this past summer and it worked great. For me, the only drawback was less control over scheduling. I was criss-crossing the county a couple of days because they pick the days and times, but otherwise it worked well for me and it was really easy. The parents thought it was easy too.

There is also some other bonuses with the customer player including automatic start and a custom message when you are not broadcasting. This will be covered at the 2015 WelsTech conference in my Streaming Without a Canoe (Intermediate) session, sneak peak here.

Free online edtech conference 12/3/16

As Sallie was Googling at the Summit at WLC, I was presenting at a one to one conference down the road at CUW. We explored the philosophy in connection to the possiblities offered by chromebooks, tablets, etc. In my research, Dave Tess and Jason Schmidt came through with some information on the latest chromebooks and their inability to project easily through VGA projectors. This is another reason that chrombooks can't be considered a teacher's main device, IMHO. Also, this information impacts purchasing of classroom projectors for the future.
