Picked up the ISTE Daily Leader News today and discovered Kevin Honeycutt and I were pictured on page 10.
It has been an excellent conference so far, I have attend great session and learned a great deal. The convention floor with the vendors is always and education too. I even a couple of thing, Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium. I am pretty excited since it is so darn expensive and I can’t really give a compelling enough argument about why I need it based on what I do now. So, I am pretty pumped to have my very own copy, legally.
If you have never had the opportunity to attend the ISTE conference, you should, it is absolutley worth your time and money and would go a long way to moving you forward with technology.

Fun video showing all the great ways to use velcro and the iPad together. Who will make the teacher version of this video?

The last couple of days Wesley Fryer, Moving at the Speed of Creativity has been doing reviews of online video editing software. The first two compared were Jaycut and YouTube. And today Stroome and Kaltura.
I knew about and had experimented just a bit with Jaycut and YouTube, but Stroome and Kaltura are new to me. From what I can read so far, Stroome looks like it might have some possibilities. I still love iMovie, but for online, in a pinch, or for Windows users, these FREE online services might just do the the trick.
