MICCA Ideas

MICCA was wonderful again this year. I enjoyed the Garage Band 9.0 session and will see if we can acquire the new Office 2008 for Mac for the laptops of our STEP team. Selena Ward from Benjamin Tasker always presents great new technology info in a fun, off-beat way. A couple of web sites she showed were quizlet.com, which allows teachers or students to make flashcards, blabberize.com, in which you can choose a face and the mouth can move to say whatever the student records (a use could be for historical characters, etc.), and xtranormal.com, in which you can type a script and actors act out the story with camera angles, gestures, expressions, etc. (like Hollywood?).
