This is the planning space for Ed Tech Retreat 2009, a face-to-face event for world language educators to gather, share expertise, and mentor each other during the summer of 2009. The purpose of this retreat is to provide a concentrated, intense 4 days of technology skill building and technology integration planning. The weekend will focus on talking tech and getting everyone up to speed on web 2.0 apps like social bookmarking, content creating apps, how they can be used, peaks and pitfalls, and creating a professional presence online.
