TRETC 2008

Today was the Three Rivers Educational Technology Conference.  It’s the premier educational technology conference to attend in this region.  Administrators, teachers, and IT professionals all gather for sessions, keynote speakers and of course, lunch.  They also have the opportunity to browse some vendor booths.  What was different this year, was that students also attended.  Well, a few from my school at least, including myself.  The experience was phenomenal.  Unfortunately, we were almost an hour late, and missed the keynote I was much looking forward to, due to a bus driver who seriously lacked any navigational skills whatsoever.  In fact, once we arrived in Cranberry, we ended up using my iPhone 3G’s GPS to find our way to the Regional Learning Alliance.  What a trip!  Regardless though, once we arrived we were eager to jump into the activities going on; of course, that was after we ate a few blueberry muffins.
