K-12 Online Conference

Tonight I went to the K12 Online Conference. I decided to check out the "Little Kids, Big Possibilities" Presentation. It appealed to me because it was designed for teachers of students under 13. I really liked that I could work on this while in the comfort of my own home. This could be a problem if you are easily distracted. It was nice being able to pause the laptop when I needed to attend to my own children.
I found this presentation to be beneficial. There were several ideas and sites that peaked my curiosity. This is a wonderful presentation for fourth or fifth grade teachers. I highly recommend it to intermediate teachers.
I experimented with a few of the sites that were introduced. Click on the link below to see one of the things I did.

"Comic Creators" was one section of the presentation that I found most interesting for my second graders. However, when I went to each of the sites mentioned I had trouble creating one. I will need to do more research to get these working.
