TTIX08 MAkes Keeping Up Easy & Exciting

As anyone who uses technology in education knows, keeping up is a challenge. Successful strategies for keeping up almost always include the quest for parsimony - in other words finding a mother load of useful information which is available in a single place over s short time span. A colleague of mine and I attended just such an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. The 2008 Teaching with Technology Idea Exchange ( TTIX08 ) was an event cram packed with people looking to share ideas and find ideas they could latch onto and use. The two day event featured speakers from across the US and in a few cases from beyond. All the sessions were videotaped and appear on the conference website at http://www.ttix.org/

A quick sample of usable technology is twitter ( twitter.com .) Do you already use it? Check it out. that and many more ideas filled pages of notes and laptops of those who attended this year.
