The structure of the conference is set up so everyone has a laptop and is focusing on the strategies of teaching with students versus listening to someone lecture.<br /><br />You should really try and attend in February if you can. itsc.oetc.org or twitter @itscpdxDarren Hudginshttp://itsc.oetc.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914133192411473700.post-46660682385233067512010-07-19T16:31:07.221-07:002010-07-19T16:31:07.221-07:00Great points, Kerry.

By doing the same thing over and over and ignoring the technology that is out there? Of course not. You have really unlocked something here and I think that by not forcing the kids to use a certain tool (i.e. Wiki, or google, etc) but teaching them what is poor support as far as research (didn't we learn that in R&w1), but learning how to effectively decipher the good from the bad as far as internet sites in support of research for your class and for their future. What an outstanding class this must have been!!Pat Smith Boyenoreply@blogger.com
