NATC 2010

I attended the North Alabama Technology conference on July 14-15, 2010.
I enjoyed several workshops and sessions.

On Wednesday I attended three workshops. The first was "Presenting with Prezi". Prezi is a web based non linear way to do presentations. With Prezi you are able to use text, images, animation, movies and other things to present your idea or presentation. This workshop was a review for me since I had already learned the basics of Prezi. But still this was an informational workshop that I enjoyed. The second workshop I attended was the general session. Mr. Richard Love gave a wonderful presentation about the state of American children and technology. This presentation was very eye opening. Mr. Love gave us a lot of information about cybersaftey and he addressed the need for teacher and parents to learn more about technology so that we can understand what our students and children are getting in to on the internet. The third session was titled:Leading the way". Again, Mr. Love was the presenter and this session was a follow up to the general session. Mr. Love went into greater detail of websites that parents and teachers needed to familiarise themselves with to keep our children safe. This presentation was gave administrators guidelines for what we needed to watch out for from a safety aspect of using the internet. This was a very informative session and I would highly recommend attending on of Mr. Love's sessions if you ever get the chance.
