Well I have missed some great presentations according to the comments that was posted my everyones critical friend.
Barry was telling last night that dave's presentation on yahoo pipes can be something that one could use when researching something. I like the idea that i don't have to read 20 blogs to find the same thing out. Kim's talk on creating text without a mouse would have been very beneficial for me(I have a lap top and using the touch pad can cause me some grief).I had an opportunity to use a smartboard once great tool allows you to stay in front of your students and not turn your back to them while you type something on your keyboard.
I used a term when giving my presentation where I said Moses Coady coined the phrase "communities of practice" I was wrong and Dave was right on the money when he corrected me as to where this phrase came from. (sorry if I misled anyone) From the comments that I read concerning Melissa's presentation that would have been a great chance for me to correct the misinformation that I gave.
