FETC Virtual Conference Tomorrow!

It's the week of virtual conferences, it seems!  Tomorrow is the Florida Educational Technology Conference's turn from 10:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. (The DEN's virtual conference is Saturday!)  I love virtual conferences, because it gives you a chance to listen in when you want and if you aren't able to, then you can hear the archived sessions.  That's smart thinking!

This should also be a great opportunity to hear about educational technology issues on the national level.  I'm most looking forward to the sessions in the afternoon/evening on computer safety and web 2.0.

You can register here.
