Have you ever been driving when you suddenly had a brainstorm or an important thought? Instead of digging for a napkin or scrap paper, now you can JOTT. Let me explain. A few weeks ago so friends starting chatting about "JOTT." Further exploration let me to this website.
I signed up for a free account. Verified my email. Verified my cell phone. In about 5 minutes I was set. I call JOTT from my cell, speak my message, and JOTT transcribes it to text and emails it to me. I could also set up other email addresses and have JOTT send messages to others.
Now, if only JOTT could just read my mind and take out the trash! ;-)

PETE & C 2008
I just spent four days immersed in conversations and presentations pertaining to educational technology integration. I learned as much from talking to my personal learning network as I did from the sessions I attended.
*Had the opportunity to meet with the other coaches in my region to set up a regional sharing day for our teachers.
*Participated in a Skype backchannel which helped to cement what I was learning while collaborating and sharing with others.
*Participated in live blogging during a Keynote presentation.
*Connected fact to face with many other Keystone Technology Integrators (whom I met this summer at the Summit). The way the Summit works... former Keystones come back and work with the new Keystones. So I not only got to visit with other 2007 Keystones, but former Keystones who have greatly impacted my life.
*Attended workshops and sessions to enhance my understanding of technology integration.
*Presented to others "Web2.0 Tools Go Elementary"
For more information on the sessions at PETE&C, check out this wiki started by CFF Coach Michelle Krill. Throughout the conference, and after, many of us collaborated by adding content to it.
