#SPARCC17
I got in to
SPARCC17 (Stark/Portage Area Computer Consortium) at the last minute (apparently some people had to cancel, thank you). It is held at Stark State College (where I taught for 5 years a LONG time ago). This was year 13 and still free, thanks to a good base of sponsors. Eric Curts is the main organizer (follow him and his website).  They have a good mix of topics/presenters and 15 minutes between sessions.  


I started with an Adobe Spark session to refresh my memory about this tool. Students making book trailers was the core of this. I had mentioned this idea to my librarian for several years, but they never went anywhere with it.  The new thing I found was
http://booknook.infohio.org/ where teachers can submit student book reviews and they are accessible to all. That site/service might even link the book review in your library catalog??  I don't know why ALL schools don’t do this.


I found out about
https://meet.libbyapp.com/ which is an app to read library books, need to investigate further. Also found that there is a mobile maker space in SW Ohio called TinkerTank. I need to go visit them. The final session I went to was about Google Maps, Streetview, and Cardboard.  Just wanted to see what they knew.  Again, why don’t all schools have tours of their buildings available on Maps/Streetview???

Got to catch up with a couple of people in my network (Melissa & Andreas), but only added a couple of people to my network.
