        Brett Hill

        Brett Hill As outgoing ASTE Treasurer I'd like to let the membership know that the incoming Treasurer, Cheryl Bobo is doing a great job. She is learning fast and taking care of business. This volunteer position is like having a second job and requires steady work 12 months of the year. Thank you Cheryl for jumping right in and doing a great job.

        Mary Wegner Thanks to everyone who made their voice heard at the ETAN Booth @ ASTE and sent letters to our folks in DC saying they support funding for ed tech! We sent 912 letters during ASTE, and as we head into the ESEA reauthorization process in DC your voices become so powerful. ASTE ROCKS!!!

          Carla Schierholt It's hard to believe that ASTE was a month and half a go. It seems like yesterday that I was here at the Cook. I'm looking forward to the ASTE retreat and planning for next year's conference. So many people who went, loved the conference. It is SO Worth all the work that goes into making this great event happen.

            • Sam McPhetres So true Carla! Being behind the scenes and seeing how it all goes together is educational. As a participant, it all looks like it runs so smoothly. A+ to all who contributes.

          ASTE 2010 Great News! Barbie is a geek!

          online.wsj.com
          Mattel Inc., thought it would be interesting to ask young girls who visited the Barbie.com Web site to vote on what the doll's next career should be. It gave them a choice of architect, anchorwoman, computer engineer, environmentalist and surgeon.

          Heather Beckman Pancratz I learned so much so fast! It was a great
          experience. Thanks! I looked for Jamie McKenzie's keynote on the ASTE website and couldn't find it. Does anyone know where to find it? Thanks.

            Sharon L. Brooks The technology experience was informative in all realms. I learned terms like morphing, blabberize, and many more to numerous to mention:/ The presenters were informative and knowledgeable. It was great try and use new tools. Hands On.

              Andy Holleman I would love to see technology teachers in Alaska do something between conferences. I know ASTE lives to do the conference, basically, and doesn't have a lot of resources, but the truth is, as teachers we do have a bunch of resources, collectively. We could be in touch and be sharing stuff all through the year. It w...ould elevate the level of what happens in the state, and ASTE would be better yet!!

                  Yea I recall we took a light foray into an ak teacher message board type thing that never really took off. I agree with you it's hard to find the time, but on the same coin there's a need to get answers from a vetted community. We did setup... http://akschools.net/ so teachers/students could explore social networking and blogs in a semi-controlled environment but haven't advertised it other than using it for the session i gave at ASTE. I think a big part of it is that these tools are all still evolving and many folks don't want to invest time into something that might not be *the one thing they end up using*.See More

                  I felt that way for a long time.....that a lot of these tools "weren't ready yet", and so, if someone didn't get into them, they could later. I also thought people that thought business would move to something like Fb were misguided.
                  In the... meantime, it would appear communications - business and otherwise - are headed in a very squishy, socially-networking/email/webby/twitter mashup kind of fashion, and we have a raft of admins and teachers that still never quite wrapped their heads around email. It's clearly where collaboration is headed, and a lot of teachers are ill-prepared to manage it.See More
