FETC Afterthoughts

The Digital Language Arts team loved meeting many of you at FETC in Orlando. We heard from several educators interested in bringing more technology integration into their language arts classrooms, as well as from those already experimenting with various instructional technology tools. And we’re doubly-glad that many of you took the opportunity to visit the Oracle Education Foundation (ThinkQuest) and Intel (Intel Thinking Tools) in the vendor area after hearing how much we love their free learning tools and how much of an important role they can play in forward-thinking instruction. Special thanks goes out to Darcie P from northern Virginia who mentioned our session on her blog, jrichardson from Alabama who wrote about us in his wiki, and Nicholas Kapetanis in Florida who featured us on the Academy at the Lakes wetpaint site. Web 2.0 shrinks the world!

Next up? We’ll feature a multi-part series on the digital language arts process, and then we’re off to Orlando again to present a ticketed session and a podcasted session at ASCD’s annual conference. Hope to see you there!
