What is this Session All
about?
Gadget Speed
Dating
The Goal:
Just find One Thing You Maybe Can USE and its just
plain COOL!!!!
The Disclaimers
1. There was an effort made to not include 2 gadgets with the same
functionality. In some cases it worked, but in others others it didn’t
2. I tried to add several gadgets for the classroom, and I let you know
about others where I see a use. There maybe some in here just for he
cool factor though
3. I tried to keep all common gadgets off the list. No tablets,
computers, or cameras here. They may be the best gadgets for your
classroom though.
4. There are new gadgets everyday, especially wearables (the next big
thing), so go find NEW ones!
5. Unlike some of my presentations, we organize this one by category.
6. Many times these products are one of many on a site, so rather
than have long addresses you may have to search sites
7. I do try to include ones that are affordable.
