C-Scope+Wiki+Review+Part+1

So, I decided to wait to contribute to this Wiki until now because I wanted to share information gathered from the state C-Scope conference in San Antonio. I am accompanying a group of 20+ educators from my district this week to further our district relationship with C-Scope as a guaranteed and viable curriculum. Over the next couple of days I want to share just a bit of information that I get from the conference, a lot of which fits well into this particular course regarding technology within the realm of education. First on the list today would be the way that the conference has met the 21st century with its conference information. About a week before arriving at the conference, I received an e-mail that shared the conference program in pdf form. I was then able to download the pdf into my ITunes, where I was then able to sync it into my IBooks app and have it with me on both my IPhone and IPad. Also, I was able to download an app specifically made for the conference by C-Scope, that gave me access to convention center maps, session details, schedules, and speakers. This information was useful, easy to access, and easy to navigate and made the conference much easier. Think of ways that we as educators can use this type of technology to make our students' lives easier. I am interested in exploring, because of this class and this recent experience, creating an app for my campus when I become an administrator, that staff, students, and the community can access. Does anyone on this wiki have experience with this? Is anyone else at the same conference? So far, so good.
