21st Century Learning

This annual conference is one of the best professional development opportunities I can imagine. For two days people from around the world get together to share not only their thoughts on technology in the classroom but their practices as well. It was wonderful opportunity to see how people integrate gaming, make images more interactive, and catch up with friends from last year. This particular conference was a personal highlight as I was a presenter.
