This video is about ITW - Atomic Learning

In this weeks episode of ITW, Aubrey and David are both snowed in at their homes. DNA will be sharing a few of their favorite technology/education websites and blogs. Make sure you check these out as well as comment below on your favorite or ones that you frequent. Remember to share your ideas or suggestions with us by email (itw@cms.k12.nc.us) or Twitter (@cmstothecore). We hope everyone had a safe few days off during the snow storm.

This webinar was held on October 24, 2012 and presented by Deb Meester of Atomic Learning and Debra Sheridan of Florida International University. Already a small team supporting faculty and staff tech training needs, the University Technology Services team at NMC Member Florida International University was tasked with expanding training to 46,000 (and growing) student population. This webinar discusses how they were able to maintain the current small staff size, yet provide 24/7 on-demand training through Atomic Learning.

TCEA 2012 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 Education (http://www.adobe.com/education.html) site for great resources including lesson plans, ideas and tutorials. Jamey Osborne (http://jameyo.com/) had a great session on creating iOS web apps! Brush up your Javascript! Promethean (http://support.prometheanplanet.com/server.php?show=nav.17508) - We love the new features in ActivInspire! Lynell Burmark (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 Whiteboard (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. FableVision (http://www.fablevision.com/) asked us to show off their fine software! We picked our favorites, Animation-ish (http://shop.fablevisionlearning.com/animationish/fa/shop.detail/productID/2542/) , Big Screen Books (http://shop.fablevisionlearning.com/big-screen-books-ish/fa/shop.detail/productID/2766/), and Stationary Studio (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 shared (http://techchicktips.wikispaces.com/QRQrazy). Atomic Learning (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  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  (http://www.absolute.com/) offered the chair massages. And then we think it was Flexile (http://www.flexile.net/) that was offering caricatures using their tools to show video conferencing and interactive whiteboards. Inspiration (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! Bretford (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 Express (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  (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/doink-animation-drawing/id364762290?mt=8) app we talked about in a previous episode. It's a mere $1.99 and worth every penny. GroupShot (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!

  Improving Student Learning Through Teacher Technology Integration Training with Scott Eliot of SEG and Kath Schroeder of Atomic Learning

Design is what you do, not who you are. These are words that we should understand and remember so the two don't get confused. There is a point at which its a good idea to turn the computer off and live a little. Failing to do so could end up with you getting burned out on the things you do to further your career. Keys to the Game: Some tool keys in Adobe applications: Selection Tool (in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign): v Direct Selection Tool (in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign): a Marquee Tool (in Photoshop): m Toggle Between Marquee Tools (in Photoshop): shift + m Rookie Mistake Tip: Buying new hardware and software can be a very exciting proposition, but you need to be careful here cause it can put you in a financial hole. Keep a few things in mind, like what you are going to be using it for and how much power you need to get the job done, and don't forget that computers get outdated as fast as your undergarments get dirty!
