TEC 2010 is less than two weeks away! ITEC 2010 (October 10-12 in Coralville) is almost here! We have over 100 sessions to attend, and more than 80 vendors who will be set up in the exhibit hall on Monday and Tuesday of the conference to show off their new products and, in many cases, give away a lot of cool stuff! ITEC is pleased to feature seven conference sponsors, including Bradfields, Bytespeed, Communication Innovators, Mindwrap, Microsoft, MNJ Technologies, and Mediacom. A variety of hardware, software, productivity and engaging products will be showcased, as well as universities highlighting their educational technology programs. Video archives
Can you be in two places at once? Did you get a phone call during a workshop and miss a point or question? Were you harvesting wheat in Farmville instead of paying attention to the keynote speaker? ITEC has a great solution to these common problems: video archives of breakouts and keynotes. Through the help of the Webster City Student TV producers, ITEC is able to offer video archives of passed ITEC conference workshops. Selected breakout sessions and keynotes from the 2009 ITEC conference can be found at ITEC's Blip.tv site: http://itec-iowa.blip.tv/posts?view=archive&nsfw=dc. Starting this year, through the partnership with WCTV, ITEC conference breakout sessions and keynotes will be available through the iTunes music store! As the workshops are processed, they will be posted to http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/iowa-technology-education/id394734751 and can be subscribed to so the updates are brought directly to your computer. (Note: some keynotes may be left off due to copyright conflicts, and all sessions will take a few days to process, but will be posted in a timely fashion.) Group registration discounts are available More information about the conference is available at http://www.itec-ia.org/, and you can register online at http://www.itec-ia.org/en/conference/registration/. For group discounts, contact Jeff Sypersma (jsyper...@nwaea.org). Workshops Over 300 seats have been filled at the ITEC workshops, but there are still some available! If you have a particular workshop you have been considering, get registered today as some workshops have just a few seats left. On the other hand, enrollment is critical to meet minimum required attendance for a couple of workshops--don't let the workshop relative to your assignment slip through your hands! Registration for workshops (on Sunday only) is available at: http://www.itec-ia.org/en/conference/registration_and_schedule/ Notification of workshop status (full or cancelled) will continue to be updated at that same site.
