FETC

My second day at FETC I sat in on a workshop about blogging, podcasting, and RSS. At first when I found out I was sitting in on this workshop I was bummed out a bit. I already had a good knowledge of blogging and enough on podcasting. I was pleasantly surprised that he didn't spend alot of time on blogging and most of the time on podcasting and RSS. I enjoyed learning the effects you can add to a podcast. I found the time spent on RSS interesting. RSS is something that I knew little about.

I had a great time at FETC. I hope I can go next year. There were many ideas I took from my two days spent there.

FETC

The first workshop that I attended was our own David Futch. His workshop was on the amazing websites that are on the internet for teachers. The best thing about these website are they are FREE!! (Every teacher loves that word) He had websites for every subject and it also included links to webquests. I have been using the mapping website all week and my student love them!

Being the nice person that David is, he let me stay for a second workshop on Promethean and Smartboards. I have never had the opportunity to use one in my classroom. I was blown away on the different things you can do with these boards. I liked that you can access the internet on the boards. I left there wishing that I had on in my classroom.
