Quia: A great website for creating student tests and quizzes to give online. LifeHacks for Student Behavior: Danny’s Example of Positive Behavior Support: We really need to try and make good positive behavior supports for our students.

Wacom Tablets: A grade writing utility for those who don’t have the dough for an iPad. Active Inspire: Great for writing and creating student lessons to be used with a wacom tablet.

Launchbar: A great timesaver for the mac if you really like using your keyboard instead of always using the mouse. Alfred: Another great task launcher, but with workflow support. Fantastical: A great replacement for quick filling of a calendar appointment. Setting up Custom URLs for Alfred: Danny’s tutorial on how to setup custom URLs for using Alfred.

Have you ever wanted to write over your Powerpoint or Keynote slides to emphasize a point, make a correction on the fly, or just break up the routine? Have you wanted to use a Smartboard but you can’t seem to be assigned a classroom that has one? Doceri is an iPad application that is a remote control for your laptop. Once your laptop (Windows or Mac) is connected to the classroom projector, you can walk around the room with your iPad advancing slides, annotating slides to make them more interactive, break from the presentation to a website, play an movie – all from your iPad. It controls the laptop through a WiFi connection using our existing university WiFi network. You can also use Doceri to diagram on the projected screen just like a Smartboard. You can draw and write on any projected image, website, map, digital picture, or on one of several backgrounds supplied by the software.Your drawings can be saved for future use. And with a screen capture software, the entire presentation can be recorded (without the need for a webcam) and posted for students to view later.
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!
