I was at the PA Educational Technology Expo & Conference (PETE&C) earlier in the week. It was a great experience! I enjoyed talking with educators from K-12 and higher ed and enjoyed the extended discussion after my presentations on web 2.o, instructional design and games for learning.
Below are slideshares of the presentations and a case study video from the 2008 "Implementing Web 2.0 in the Classroom" course at Harrisburg University.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to many presentations while I was there. I spent most of my time finishing prep for my presentations, talking with attendees after presentations and visiting the vendor area.
Strolling through the vendor area was interesting. I saw a number of vendors with online learning options for K-12 and at the opposite end of the spectrum what seemed like a large number of electronic whiteboard vendors (10?). I'm anticipating in future years that the number of online learning vendors will increase and the number of electronic whiteboard vendors will decrease.
