The eTech State Technology Conference

Another great conference from eTech... As always, too busy with presentations and the booth to attend very many sessions, but the ones I got to go to were great.

We also helped out in the Ohio on iTunes U area that eTech had set up for the launch of the new Ohio sections in iTunes U. The site launched on January 27, timed for conference, and they have been uploading content pretty steadily since the launch. I'm very excited about these new resources for Ohio teachers. I hope that it continues to grow, especially with submissions from K-12 schools. This may just prove to be the ultimate resource for our teachers.

My presentation (which eTech recorded for inclusion in the Ohio on iTunes U site) was at 8:00 am on Monday morning - I know, horrible time slot. I didn't expect to have a full session since lots of people drive in for the day and lots of others were still checking in and getting their conference materials. However, I had more than 120 in my session! The room was set up for 160, so you couldn't really say it was a full session, but I thought it was a fabulous turnout for that time slot! I hope I made it worth the effort of getting up and moving so early on a Monday morning! If you wanted to see my session and didn't make it, eTech will be posting them on iTunes U in late March or early April. I will update with a link as soon as it is available.
