We are about ready to start with Minds on Media – I am hoping to write a new post for each table I sit at.  The first session will be ArcGIS – mapping and Geography with Peter McAsh.  Think I have this blog worked out – will be using my lap top and my phone for instagram photos that get uploaded to the blog automatically.

Also trying out a new blog which is driving me a little crazy right now!

Now the speakers are being intoduced here is a quick summary of the topics:

media literacy

internet radio that can be run by students

programming

mapping – the next level

creation apps

Mind Craft – playing between schools

make your own music using ios etc

open source programming tools

teaching math through problem solving- capturing student thinking through technology

building a PLN

The philosophy of the day – You are in charge of your learning today.  the participants will bring their needs at each center, leave and move around when you need to.  Move on and get up and move to the next spot when you are ready.  A little like an unconference!  Off we go!!
