Thank you for your efforts to get the word out about InfoTech. Some of you have signed up to Showcase student work and others have simply signed up to attend. If any of you would like to assist us in making InfoTech a success again, I am looking for volunteers to help us out with Logistics, Registration, Student Showcases, and other areas. If you are interested in helping out, send me an email or give me a call.

It took me a while, but I finally finished the podcast. During the conference I spoke to a couple of teachers and got their feedback on their experience at the event. If you were at the conference and want to give your feedback, post your comment here. I look forward to your comments.

It’s finally here!!
Tomorrow is our annual InfoTech Conference. Schools from across LAUSD will be showcasing student work. You will be able to see student created projects from almost all grade levels. I can’t wait to see what our schools are doing. In addition, we will be looking at this years student competion projects and award the winning schools with some great prizes. It’s alway nice to see the students’ enthusiasm as they present their projects to hundreds of visitors.
If you’ve never attended InfoTech before, now is your chance. Don’t miss this great opportunity to see what other schools are doing. Come and get inspired by our own LAUSD students as they proudly showcase their projects. And while your here, you can also take part in some professional development yourself in any of our Tech Workshops.
By the way, did I mention that this event is completely free? That’s right! FREE!!! You don’t have to pay for anything, not even parking. So there is no excuse for missing this even. I hope to see you there.

On April 12, 2008, I will be presenting at InfoTech 2008 on Google Docs and Google Groups. These are two free applications offered by Google that I think are a must for educators and students. These tools enable users to share files, collaborate on assignments, have discussions and much more from any computer, in any location as long as you have an internet connection.
Don’t have a server to house your files. No problem. Google Docs and Google Groups are web based applications. What does this mean. It’s simple. It means that all of your files are stored online. So if your computer crashes because you got infected by the latest virus, your work will be safe because you can access your account from any computer.
