What's New

It's my favorite time of the techo year.  First, there's the Consumer Electronic Show going on right now in Las Vegas where they introduce all the latest and greatest--some of which will show up in our schools in the near future. Here's Walt Mossberg from Wall Street Journal showing some of the more interesting finds:


Then, right close to home, there's FETC, the Florida Educational Technology Conference. It's coming up from January 23rd to the 26th right here at the Orlando Convention Center.  It's one of the largest and most popular educational technology conferences for educators.  There are lots of new products and new ideas there, too.  FETC features hundreds of workshops, sessions and exhibits all focused on using and integrating technology to improve student achievement. If you ever get a chance to attend, don't pass it up! 

FETC also offers a free virtual conference in the spring and fall. Stay tuned.  I'll let you know!

FETC is open to anyone...you can find more information at http://www.fetc.org. There is a registration fee. The FETC Virtual conferences have been free in the past and I'm hoping they will continue to be free. When I know more about that, I'll post the info to this blog.
