Following on the heels of the first Engaging New Technologies session in Toronto, this fast-paced follow-up will demonstrate a rich variety of new technologies, and show how to engage with a heady array of contemporary products, services and tools. Organized as two distinct but complementary 90 minute sections, this session will present overviews (10 minutes each) of at least 10 tools, providing for a sample of an end product use, an overview of the software itself (demystifying the process involved in using it), followed by an open opportunity to brainstorm about how each tool or technology can be applied (matched) to our own work to support instruction, communication and research. Topics Covered in Part 2: Video, including where to find video content, how to edit and present video, and classroom applications; Semantic Web, including general information and principles, embedded metadata, and products/projects; How to Keep Up With New Technologies and Fun Stuff with new and different technologies of the presenters' choice.
