Is Your Life Chaotic? Simplify it With Technology!

This was a concurrent session that I conducted at the Upstate Technology Conference this year.  The session was really directed at simplifing one’s life outside the classroom.  We discussed Google Documents, Google Calendar, Bloglines and Jott.  Jott seemed to be the tool that attracted the most interests and responses.  If you are not familiar with Jott….try it out.  It does quite a few things but what interested teachers the most was the ability to call Jott, leave a message, have it converted to text and then have the text sent to their son or daughter’s cell phone.

Is this of educational value?…maybe not..but it’s my experience that if you can get someone excited about one piece of technology then they are much more approachable about other areas.
