ECIS-IT Conference

Greeting Programs,

Last week I was in Frankfurt at the ECIS-IT Conference presenting about using this blog and our class wiki http://dis-dpcs.wikispaces.com/ in the CompSci classroom to other Tech Integration Specialists and CompSci DP teachers. I really enjoyed the positive feedback from those that attended the presentation. Most of the attendees liked how the information in the wiki was student generated and researched. Additionally, they liked the Java section, with all the resources needed for students to learn Java. During the presentation we discussed ways to use Moodle along with the wiki and the blog. The last ten minutes or so were spent sharing experiences using all three web 2.0 tools in the CompSci classroom. Lastly, we discussed the rumors that IBO may let instructors use other programming options instead of only Java. Many of the attendees would welcome the change.

I think my skills as a presenter have improved since the AGIS conference back in February in Hanover! Best of all, all the tech stuff worked for the Frankfurt presentation!
