LACUE Technology Summit

I went to Baton Rouge the second week of June to go to the LACUE Technology Summit. This was the second year for them to have this but the first one that I have been to.  I have been to the LACUE Conferences in New Orleans for a few years now, but this was tailored for technology leaders.  I was able to meet up with Marcie and hang out and discuss different technology events and issues, which is great because I always leave with new tips and tricks. 

I was introduced to Voxer and Periscope, which I must say is addictive, and all sorts of tricks with twitter.  Back to Voxer, Marcie invited me to a chat group on Voxer with Catholic Educators and I am very grateful for that. Periscope is a neat new app that lets you look into the lives of others as they broadcast from the mobile device.  I have been on twitter for years but never played much on it cause I didn't know how or what to do.  After Marcie showed me tweetdeck and how to follow chats like #LAEdchat, #CatholicEdChat, I can not keep up with the latest post from others around the world.  


I love learning new things and finding out different techniques and tips with using technology in education.  I was also able to help network some of my hometown colleges, Heather, with my PLN colleges, and I also met new colleges that I will add to my PLN.  The first two weeks of summer have already got geared up for the next school year with a new arsenal of fun new things I get to try out.
