Save Those Dates and Let's Meetup, Hangout, and See Each Other Soon

By chanatown -
It's that time of year, no not the holiday where you have your kids dress up as baby animals and solicit neighbors for candy. No, it's professional development conference season, and we're hitting the ground running starting in November. I'll be presenting at a few local conferences, waiting for word on the big state and national ones, and will be co-chairing the local Mini-Conference held in January of next year.  Hit the jump for more details on each of them, and let me know if you'll be attending!

Google Apps for Education Midwest Summit (November 12-13)
I missed round one, but I'll be in attendance and presenting on day one at this sold-out two day conference for all things Googley.

Illinois Education and Technology Conference (November 29-30)
The edtech caravan heads downstate to Springfield, IL for this great conference, my first as an official edtech employee. Springfield's a great place to visit as well - the Lincoln museum is amazing!

Google EDU On Air (October-December, 2012)
You have the best seat in the house to learn with educators around the world. Over 110 Hangouts. Over 70 presenters. All free on Google+. Education On Air.  Register today. http://goo.gl/OyqFc

Specifically, I'll be presenting twice for EDU On Air - come hang out on 11/26 for Sites one month from today. 

NICE Mini-Con 2013 - Call for Proposals
Lastly, the Northern Illinois Computer Educators (NICE) is having its annual Mini-Conference on Saturday, January 26, 2013 at Niles North High School.  We've got presenter proposals rolling in daily, but we'd love to hear from you regarding any topics that you'd be interested in presenting.  We've got a great keynote speaker in store and this year promises to be the biggest, best conference ever!

Quick EdTech Timeout (2 full and a 30 second remaining)...It's been a few weeks since that beautiful day (really, the weather was nice), April 3, when the UPS man came and delievered my shiny new toy to my doorstep (2:30pm: finally, I could leave the house!)  I've gotten a chance to use it, play around, download apps, read articles, skim some books, and much, much more. So, here's Part 1 of why I love my iPad...

The app claims to let you wirelessly sync your iTunes playlists, photos, and videos using your home Wi-Fi network. So, what's the real story behind the experience? Find out after the jump.
