ITEC Conference is Hoppin'
Once a year our statewide Instructional Technology organization, Iowa Technology and Education Connection (ITEC), has wonderful 3-day conference at the Marriott Hotel in Des Moines. This is a wonderful opportunity for educators across the state to get together to share what they have been doing and plan future events. I love coming down here.
Last year I posted a wiki to hold the resources for my workshop and sessions that I presented. I was amazed when someone who said that she would not be able to make my sessions tomorrow asked if I was doing that again. "Of course, I am," I replied. Here is the link to my ITEC 2007 wiki. You will find some interesting resources that go with the Google Tools and Web 2.0 Gizmos and Gadgets sessions that I will be presenting.
This year, the UNI Instructional Technology division decided to make our presence known. We have gone "whole hog" by reserving a table and bringing a professional display unit. We will also be presenting a panel discussion entitled Web 2.0 - Confronting the Challenges. This panel discussion will include Dr. Mary Herring, Dr. Ana Donaldson, Robin Galloway, Magda Galloway and our special guest, Dr. Gordon Dahlby from the West Des Moines School District. Should be fun.
Life continues to be active at the University of Northern Iowa. Our program in the Instructional Technology Division of the Curriculum and Instruction Department in the College of Education is as exciting as ever. We use WebCT 6 to provide on-line course support.
Our Educational Technology Minor is growing. Maybe it's right for you!
