Well I am making my plans to be at TCEA again this year. I?m hoping to see a bunch of people. I?ll be attending some conference sessions, visiting the Web 2.0 and Bloggers areas, and attending the CS/TA SIG meeting. Microsoft has a booth and some workshops and sessions. There is a teacher presented session on XNA in the regular program as well. Also a bring your own laptop session on Expression Web development, as well as a presentation on Kodu that you will not want to miss if you are looking at tech for younger students. A schedule of other events is below and I?ll fill out the times and rooms for the other events as soon as I have them. Or come find me at TCEA!
Stop by our Booth #1630, attend one of our sessions at the conference, and visit our side meeting room M9 !
