Some school systems are adding this to their educational curriculum now. This coding hour introduced the concept of basic computer coding and was a big success. was responsible for the hour-of-code that many classrooms participated in. Pat stressed the importance of three tenets: educate, advocate and celebrate. Lastly, Pat Yongpradit spoke about at and /k5. It takes me back to the days when I read my brother's Popular Science and Popular Mechanics magazines. I love the whole idea of wearable technology. Matthew Newton talked about Google Glass. My favorite thing she said was, "Never underestimate the power of a kid driven by his own passion". Rafranz Davis talked about the concept of passion and innovation through creativity and talked about Braedon's Art Planet. In this sessions there were 13 presenters who each had 5 minutes and 20 slides to present their topic. I stopped by the Tabletop green screen in miniature. I went to the Digital Library and Storytelling Playgrounds and really liked being able to see usage of technology directly related to the library and the classroom. I scanned so many QR Codes today I saw things in black and white for a little while :). Some tables I stopped at were Designing your Makerspace, Gamifying the Classroom and Creating Computer Games: Resources for Teachers and Students, Beyond talk: using Ted in the classroom!, and 6 free tools for dynamic & engaging professional learning. Poster Sessions are like a smorgasbord of tables set up with innovative educators and some great projects that are being shared with everyone.
Such amazing technology from Hover Cam, Penveu and PBS Learning Media. There were so many new, exiting and innovative demonstrations going on.

It was full of familiar companies and products and many new ones. Oh my goodness, the vendor floor was intimidating and very big. Today was a day spent at mostly either Poster Sessions or on the Vendor floor. I will try to keep this post shorter so you don't feel like nodding off halfway through it.
