My AETC 2013 Smackdown

What a great conference this year at AETC! I always enjoy our state technology conference, and this year was no exception. I presented twice, attended several really great sessions, and visited with colleagues and friends from all over the state! I don't know about you, but when I've been to one of these, I need at least a day to let all of those great ideas marinate in my head, and putting pen to paper finger to keyboard is the best way for me to sort out my new learning. Hopefully, there will be some things here that you'll find interesting or useful:

First of all, if you've never heard Kevin Honeycutt (@KevinHoneycutt) speak you have really missed out! He is probably THE best keynote speaker I've ever heard. But don't worry. He has a YouTube channel. Here's a quick sample:

Now, on to my smackdown. These are a few of my favorite sites that I learned about and can't wait to use:

Tool	Info
Bump	Multi-platform app which allows you to bump your devices together to share files, pictures, videos, digital business cards, etc...You can even bump from your phone to your computer by bumping the space bar.
GE.TT	File sharing site which will allow you to share multiple files. You upload them, they zip them for you, and give you a sharable link.
Lulu	Publish your book! This site publishes your work and allows you to sell it.
QR Hacker	I usually use, QRstuff.com, but this site is really cool, too, because it allows you to play a little more with your QR code's style.Not sure I'd use it in my classroom since "Pimp" is not a word I allow my little ones to use, but I would use it at home.
1 Password	Ever lose a password? Not again! With 1 password, you can save all of those passwords you've accumulated and it gives you ONE password in place of them! The only con is that you have to pay for it :(
Vizify	Make a video of your Twitter feed! Pretty cool little tool! Here's mine!
Primary Pad	Word processing that allows students and teachers to work together in real time. Great for collaboration or back-channeling.
Aurasma	Sort of like a QR code on steroids, Aurasma allows you to create images that link to web content. Really neat site.
Tripline	Similar to Google Lit Trips, but you can actually create these pretty easily! There's also a searchable database with lots of premade maps. This one's a must see!
Let Me Google That For You	For the smart alec in all of us...You have got to try this site!!!! You know those "Duh" questions people ask sometimes? This is the answer. I literally laughed out loud when I tried this site.

Have you used any of these before? Have something similar to add? I'd love to hear from you!
