She shortened urls and made a QR code with a Google Document. http://tammyworcester.com/urlshortener/
She made a Google Form and had us enter our name and the place we were born. She then took the data and put it in a site called www.batchgeo.com Instructions are here: http://tammyworcester.com/batchgeo/

4. I saw Nancy Norem Powell @NAPmath doing a session on SMARTBoard Wigits http://napmath.wordpress.com/ and http://smartboardsmarty.wikispaces.com/
I learned about how there is a beta version of Extreme Collaboration which was taking information from any device (not a clicker) and using the info on the SMARTBoard. Click here on how to get it
5. I met Tony Schlorff who told me about the SMART LightRaise™ interactive projectors which does not need the board. It shines on the wall and you can draw using your finger. AMAZING. He said it costs about a third less than the regular SMARTBoard.
