Yesterday I shared an introductory professional development workshop in Yukon, Oklahoma, titled, “Apps and Clouds: An Introduction to Internet Resources.” This evening I published my presentation slides to SlideShare, published a “lightly edited” audio recording of the 98 minute session, and also created a linked webpage with all referenced resources and videos. Feedback for this session was very positive. Teachers enjoyed an opportunity to discuss a variety of trends, terms, and technologies which we are facing in our schools and society. Please contact me if you’re interested in having me present this session (or something similar) for your conference, organization or school.
