Tots and Technology

Well, I just got back from the conference in Galveston.  I AM TIRED!  I couldn't sleep. UGH!  My husband (who COULD sleep) and two of my three kids came along to keep me company.  We stayed at a friend's bay house.  It was wonderful.
The convention center had TERRIBLE internet service...(really? It's a technology conference) however, thanks to Verizon and AT&T air cards, the presenters could continue.
My favorite presenter was Lisa Johnson. She has a site with LOTS of iPad apps, including reviews.  I have two classroom iPads.  One iPad was given to me by a friend, the other, I earned by attending the district's technology training.
Some interesting apps were Wunder Map, Painting with Time and Futaba.  With Futaba, four students can use the iPad at one time.  It's in a game format. 
I'll be checking out lots of these apps after vacation.  We leave Saturday for Florida! Yippee!
