Annual EFE Business Bash Presentation (12/2010)

I presented at our local RESA Business Bash for Education for Employee students in December, my session was "Keeping Face Online" and I talked about the benefits of building a positive "face" online using social networking tools. I explained the benefits of being "Googleable" and how potential employers will likely research applicants online (Google, Facebook, etc.). The session went well and I was pleased with the interaction (indicating true interest) from the students (mainly 11-12th graders).

My MACUL 2010 Experience – Friday Kinder-Tech Session

Janie is a kindergarten teacher in our district as well as a friend of mine; this was her first time presenting at the conference and she did an outstanding job. The conference gurus scheduled her session in a large room with about 100 chairs, in the last time slot before the closing speaker…this could have resulted in a low turnout with everyone being so tired, but NO…the room was packed SRO (standing room only)! First time presenter+packed room=nervous wreck…right? NOT! Janie kept her cool and did a fabulous job! Her presentation featured the many creative ways that she integrates technology into her kindergarten classroom on a daily basis. Congratulations Janie!
