Tech Showcase
Today was the Technology Showcase for the Archdiocese of Baltimore. It was hosted at Calvert Hall. What a magnificent school! They have a wonderful array of tech tools plus a very knowledgeable and helpful tech team.
My presentation was on using social media for professional development. I spoke about Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Ning. Most of the time was spent on Twitter, and I was able to market the Tuesday evening #edchat a bit. I had also registered the hashtag #aobtech for the showcase and encouraged participants to use it. The concept of a back channel was a bit new for them.
The people in my session seemed very open to using the tools but had some legitimate concerns. Figuring out how to navigate through this new sea without drowning in it is a bit tricky at times.
