FETC 2012

My experience at FETC 2012 has left me exhilarated and exhausted. I came away with so many links and so much new learning, but now I need time to sort it all out. These are my notes with links; but really, this is just a first layer of my learning. As part of the conference, I joined Edmodo where I have access to presenter notes and back channel conversations. For several workshops, I tweeted an essential idea - captured in 140 characters or less. I now see how that in itself is a valuable tool to inspire thought.

FETC Marie Coleman: presentations

Transform content presentations
Marie Coleman 

Powerful presentations should be about. 
Here is a link to her excellent collection of examples and resources.


Based on the Pecha kucha technique: 
 7 min. 20 slide max, few words, visual connection important but not obvious until explored, one photo per slide - relevant visual, 


Use CRAP (Contrast, repetition, alignment, proximity)


This is a wonderful and funny summary of her ideas (but it's not her video)

Some points of interest from his talk: He spent many years as a H.S. teacher and only one year at jr high, but half his stories come from that year. “The cloud is safer than your own computer.” Power of audience - want it to be good, not just good enough. Power of barriers: fear and time. "fear keeps a good teacher from being great" (example: “touch me” big screen video - kids vs adults). One device is not enough. Which fits best for this job? This kid? Xpad. iPad or tablets not good for writing well. Chromebooks - good for school, in the cloud, but needs good wireless, 
"isolation a cancer on teachers forever" going away w future of Ed tech

Some of the resources he shared include the following:

·         Video 2011 in review. Link on resource page

·         Google spreadsheet: magic fill, control and pull down it finds a pattern – very cool
