Weโ€™re trying to get this out quickly, so you wonโ€™t find any show notes, but if you have questions about anything in particular, contact us and weโ€™ll research it. Enjoy and thank you for your support! Slร inte, and hereโ€™s to the next 100!

    First we get kicked out of Barnes & Noble because they close. Seriously? Why can't they be 24 hours? Don't they know we need to podcast? And then we go to the patio of their Starbucks and face the two foot tall beetles that wanted to see what we were up to, the 40 mile per hour winds that required we HOLD our laptops and the daisy chaining of surge protectors (yes, we each carry our own) to be able to reach a table. THEN they have to chain down the tables and chairs. With us in them. We move a car next to the building and feed the cables through the open window and sit inside to podcast in as wind-free an environment we can muster. Then we get so overly exhausted we can stop laughing at all of the shirts in the "funny" section of Cafe Press. Until it's after 1am and we finally attempt to go our separate ways only to find out that we've run down the battery and have to use one vehicle to jump the other. See??

    TCEA 2012ย had the Tech Chicks all a-twitter. Ha ha! Anyway, this is our round-up podcast about the sessions we attended and the vendors we loved. Adobe Academy - Anna attended a great hands-on session on content creation with Adobe. Check out the Adobe Educationย (http://www.adobe.com/education.html) site for great resources including lesson plans, ideas and tutorials. Jamey Osborneย (http://jameyo.com/) had a great session on creating iOS web apps! Brush up your Javascript! Prometheanย (http://support.prometheanplanet.com/server.php?show=nav.17508) - We love the new features in ActivInspire! Lynell Burmarkย (http://www.lynellburmark.org/) had a session, IWB apps: From the iPad to the Wall which had us revisit an app we'd definitely overlooked... Doceri (http://doceri.com/) is an awesome app for controlling your Mac or Windows machine from your iPad in the classroom. It has great markup tools and a nifty stylus which is handy for doing the drawing tools. Splashtop Whiteboardย (http://www.splashtop.com/whiteboard) is still a favorite of ours, too, don't get us wrong. The pricing scheme of Doceri and Splashtop are such that you can pick whichever is most cost effective for your situation. FableVisionย (http://www.fablevision.com/)ย asked us to show off their fine software! We picked our favorites, Animation-ishย (http://shop.fablevisionlearning.com/animationish/fa/shop.detail/productID/2542/)ย , Big Screen Booksย (http://shop.fablevisionlearning.com/big-screen-books-ish/fa/shop.detail/productID/2766/), and Stationary Studioย (http://www.fablevision.com/stationerystudio). Definitely check them out! We had a QR code session with a great group of educators. Thanks for all who attended! Here are the resources we sharedย (http://techchicktips.wikispaces.com/QRQrazy). Atomic Learningย (http://atomiclearning.com) did a neat thing with their t-shirts at the booth. Check out the cool video here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3OntdDRlJI) Loved seeing our Twitter friends @paulrwood, @technolibrary, @ipadsammy, @bryanpdoyle, @rrodgers, @neontetra and @mrhooker for BBQ and donuts! And then them and more including @kevinhoneycutt, @mradkins, and @jmaklary, and our local friends @JGraytxchk, @hlandez, @kevinfoxxy, and @jessicablanca at ย the official Twitter meet up. Clever swag included a chair massage at some booth with an A... oh wait, Helen had to look it up for us. Absolute Software ย (http://www.absolute.com/)ย offered the chair massages. And then we think it was Flexileย (http://www.flexile.net/) that was offering caricatures using their tools to show video conferencing and interactive whiteboards. Inspirationย (http://www.inspiration.com/) is coming out with an iPad app which looks really awesome but is missing a critical feature in our opinion. Listen to find out what that is. Anna will probably still buy it because she's an iOS app junkie. We still love the Lock -n- Charge (http://www.lockncharge.com/) cart for charging the laptops. They have iPad charging carts, too, and they have REALLY thought out the needs of a charging cart! Bretfordย (http://bretford.com/category/seating/soft-seating/motiv-seating/) furniture has built-in power. Can we have this for our houses? We did a mobile learning session and want to give a special thanks to two of our new favorite apps, DoInk Express and GroupShot, that gave out promo codes for us to raffle! DoInk Expressย (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/doink-express-messaging-photos/id414067189?mt=8) is an awesome app for iPhone/iPod for tweening and flipbook animation. It's the baby cousin to the DoInk for iPad ย (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/doink-animation-drawing/id364762290?mt=8)ย app we talked about in a previous episode. It's a mere $1.99 and worth every penny. GroupShotย (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/groupshot/id488709126?mt=8) is a magic app. MAGIC, we tell you! When you take several photos of a group of people trying to get the one perfect shot, you can actually merge the best heads from each shot into one. And it's MAGIC. Wow! Seriously! Check it out! It's 99 cents! Buy it now! In conclusion, it was another great TCEA!
