Savvy Seven Day 2

Technology Fair

Last night, the District hosted a technology fair. Organized and put on by Desiree Caskey, Karen Palmer, and Deana Elder, the purpose of the event was to help people who are interested in purchasing technology to see it, feel it, discuss it, and ask questions about it to those of use who are implementing and testing it out in our classrooms. In Desiree's words:

PURPOSE OF THE TECHNOLOGY FAIR:

So just a quick reminder that the Technology fair is for people who influence or make purchasing decisions. There will be people from SD#2 and surrounding districts. Your charge is to provide information for them about the product - 

• what it does, 
• how you use it in your classroom, 
• what you like about it, 
• what you don't like about it
• ANY other information you think will help them in planning and purchasing technology

Deana, Karen & I will have current pricing, product information, and planning documents. We will be there to help people have a PLAN OF PURCHASE. 

Now We're Flipping Out

Today I was asked a question I was unprepared to answer; Rendan wanted to know how to insert a video interview into his Google Presentation. It just so happened that I had my Flip camera sitting right there, so I gave it a shot. I spun his Chromebook around, flipped out the USB tab, and popped it in. What do you know... it works! I sent the camera home with him tonight, so tomorrow we will upload it to YouTube and take it from there.
