0096 TCT - Determined to publish! | 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?? See what we go through for YOU, our worthy listeners?!

0093 TCT - TCEA 2012 Roundup | 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 , Big Screen Books, and Stationary Studio. 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! | 19 2 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

0055 TCT - A short interview with Will Richardson | Lucky us! Will Richardson came to Killeen to present to a group of teachers and admin. The topic was "From Information Literacy to Information Leadership." It was a great session that was uStreamed (link to follow on our web site at http://techchicktips.net) for at least part. Of course Murphy's Law rules supreme and our network went down in the building for a great portion of the presentation. We had the opportunity to interview Will Richardson as he was a captive audience on the way back to the airport to return home. We used Anna's iPhone with a Thumbtack mic. Not sure what was causing the strange thuunnnngg sounds throughout, but for the most part, it was pretty good for being in a car and through a phone. http://weblogg-ed.com/ http://twitter.com http://networksummercamp.ning.com/ | 22 6 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Best example of its use: DJBecker’s Page (http://pagekeeper.teachingmatters.org/link/851/list) DrivingKids (http://drivingkids.com) - Here’s a first - we talk about something we pointedly do not recommend. Listen to the podcast to find out why! Well, okay - it’s because the navigation is clunky, the games aren’t easily discernible to ability level and the chat has very little protection for kids SmartPhone Filters (http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/iwonder_surf_lets_parents_lock_down_kids_iphones.php) - discussion of filtering on smartphones for students/kids and a link to one such application for the iPhone Lincoln’s FaceBook Page (http://www.indyweek.com/pdf/020409/LincolnFacebook.jpg) - what Abraham Lincoln’s Facebook page would look like if he had one WebSlides on Diigo (http://slides.diigo.com/) - turn a collection of bookmarks (or an RSS feed!) into a slideshow.

0050 TCT - The Golden Episode | Resources * Jeopardy Labs - Allows you to create a customized jeopardy template without PowerPoint. The games you make can be played online from anywhere in the world. * TikaTok - Imagine a story, create a book. (we forgot to tell you that you can send in your students' work and they'll scan it for you!) * Kinetic City - Amazing collection of games, science experiments, and projects. Beat the bugs and set things right. * JayCut - Online video editing. * Edmodo - Edmodo is a private microblogging platform that teachers and students can use to send notes, links, files, alerts, assignments, and events to each other. * All About Explorers - All About Explorers was developed by a group of teachers as a means of teaching students about the Internet. Because we wanted to make a point about finding useless information even in a site which looked at first to be fairly well put together, all of the Explorer biographies here are fictional. While many of the facts are true or based on truth, many inaccuracies, lies, and even downright absurdity are mixed in indiscriminately. As such, it is important that you do not use this site as a source of reference for your own research!

0044 TCT - On a Twitter Soapbox | Twitter Commentary in response to blog post by David Jakes (sorry–we’re a little long winded, but we just had to do it…). If you’re sick of hearing about Twitter, fast forward about 23 minutes. Hey… you were warned! Resources Newbie’s Guide to Twitter http://www.webware.com/8301-1_109-9697867-2.html Good beginner’s guide for anyone new to Twitter from Rafe Needleman whose name Anna dubbed in later because she had a flub. It’s a terrible edit. Painful. We’re human. Long Portraits http://photojojo.com/content/photojojo-original/long-portrait-video A quick and easy, but powerful example of digital storytelling. 30 second or less video of someone responding to a question. Great to take at the beginning of the year and then end of year, or from year to year, maybe with the same question each year, to watch the kids grow and change. Good for career days. Artsonia http://www.artsonia.com/ World’s Largest Children’s Art Museum MooURL http://www.moourl.com/ Web’s cutest URL shortening service. If you have a really loooong URL, just paste it in the text field, and they’ll milk it, creating a moourl for you. It lasts forever, It’s automatically copied to your clipboard, and It’s really cute. We’re dropping our forums…but you can communicate with other edutechs: * use Twitter * use comments on episode notes * use Diigo * IM us | 30 4 08 | Free | View In iTunes |
