It's not About Clicking and Dragging! It's not About Blogging, Podcasting, Web 2.0'in! - 2:00pm - 2:45pm
Marco Torres
It's about teaching and learning. Or, learning and teaching. In this "flattening" world, we are required to be more creative, more flexible, more community based. However, teachers -- the world still needs GOOD, empathetic, ingenuous educators, a teacher, a Yoda! Yeah, you! The kids, more than ever, need us! Multimedia is a language to our students. If we're smart and ready, we can use it to be very academic and very rigorous (and have fun along the way, too). If we use multimedia right, we can empower in ways that we never imagined. Turn your classroom into a stage, a studio, and a community and HURRY! The kids are waiting for you to catch up!

Join me for a journey into the Tao of Mac, as we discover hidden gems in the applications that we already know and love.
