Short, Sweet, and to the Point

I participated in the ITSCO mixer tonight, along with 18 other presenters. We were limited to 20 slides that automatically advanced every 15 seconds. It really forces you to get to the point and then move on. Great concept for an audience with a short attention span. I'm wondering how it would work as an assignment in the classroom? Could be interesting!

I met a fellow Career Tech Teacher from C-TEC, Mark Vukovic, who shared his students' use of Web 2.0 and Google Tools to complete web development for community service type projects. My other favorites were Stan McDonald from Delaware City Schools and Paul Ross from Bexley. Its good to see what other schools are doing! I wonder where and how we could do something similar in our area.
