FETC Presentation, Orlando, FL

It's been a few weeks since the FETC conference, but I wanted to write how much fun it was. I always like meeting others in the ed-tech genre.

After a delayed flight from LAX to Orlando, I arrived the night before my scheduled Saturday presentation. I presented: "Kids Teaching Kids via Tablet PC, Moodle and Student-Created Screencasts". Much of the collaboration my students do is through our class web site, Mathtrain.Com, and our student-created math video site, Mathtrain.TV.

The videos on Mathtrain.TV are created by using a Tablet PC and screen recording software called, Camtasia Studio.

I Love Australia!

Today, I presented from my classroom in Santa Monica, CA at the MAV Math Conference in Melbourne, Australia. It was 3:45pm my time and 10:45am the next day in Australia.

Student, "Bob", co-presented. It was unique in that we were broadcast via Skype and Adobe ConnectNow. Tomorrow, we get to do it again! Meanwhile, some students were participating and/or watching the presentation in my classroom in front of me. They were impressed that we were talking and viewing live a live feed to Aultralia. Thanks to the wonderful Tony Richards, of itmadesimple and edtechcrew.net for running the show locally in Australia. And thanks to Darren, who hooked us up with his smooth Skype connection!
