FETC 2008 (Day 2)
February 8, 2008
I never had a chance to finish blogging about FETC 2008. Let me post some more highlights:
Steve Dembo introduced us to some hot new products that I had never heard of: Curriki ; Ustream ; and Digital Native.
I also got introduced to some web2.0 products that I knew about, but never dove into until after the conference. At the top of this list is Twitter. Check out my profile here.
Other than that, products that I want to learn more about are Moodle, a collaborative classroom management tool, and Ning, a free social network creator.
Finally, the best workshop of the day was by Jeanne Hayes of Hayes Connections. She talked about a virtualization solution by Parallels. Virtualization seems to be a no-brainer for any educational institution. It is a great way to consolidate servers, use less power, and improve support. (Of course, Smart Solutions has experts in virtualization if your school is interested in our services!)
Overall, it was a wonderful trip.
