WELCOME
Welcome to the 20th Annual Alabama Educational Technology Conference.
We are honored that you have taken time out of your busy summer to help us
celebrate our 20th anniversary and join fellow educators at Alabama’s leading
educational technology conference! I am confident that this year's conference
will be highly informative and provide you with invaluable tools and
information to enhance your knowledge of technology.
Technology in schools and classrooms is becoming more and more prevalent;
therefore, we must continue to provide educational leaders with the vital
resources needed to keep Alabama schools connected and competing in this
rapidly changing technological age. We have made tremendous strides
regarding technological advances in our public schools, thereby enabling
students to learn and communicate, even in remote sections of the state.
However, we still have more to do. In fact, as technology continues to evolve,
so must we. One of our strategies is to utilize conferences such as this one to
highlight the advantages of using technology and to provide the most up-todate training possible to facilitate its use in our classrooms.
As we continue through the 21st Century, please remain committed to
providing the highest standards of education to our students because
this is vitally important to their successful journey into the future.

AETC 2016 CONFERENCE SCHEDULE
20 Years of AETC
The Alabama Educational Technology Conference (AETC) was first held in October of 1994 at the BirminghamJefferson Convention Complex (BJCC) in Birmingham. You may be saying…“1994-2016 is 22 years”…and you
would be correct. However, we did not have a conference in 2000 and 2009.
Dr. Rex Jones and Dr. Jonnie Griffin were the first coordinators and began the conference while under the former
Division of Computer Services at the ALSDE. In 1996, the Office of Technology Initiatives (OTI) was formed and
Dr. Jones and Dr. Griffin, along with the new staff of this section, managed the
conference. They served as coordinators until 1997. The conference has continued to
be managed through the Educational Technology office (formerly OTI), with
additional volunteers from other sections throughout the department.
In 1998, Dr. Melinda Maddox took the reins and led the conference until 2001. In
2000, the National Educational Computing Conference (NECC), now known as ISTE, was scheduled to be held in
Atlanta, Georgia. We felt it would be better to encourage systems to attend the national conference instead of
trying to compete.
Ms. Kathy Lambert (then Birdnow) coordinated the conference from 2002-2004. Upon her retirement, Don
Marchant began his leadership of the conference from 2005-2008. Don’s tenure included AETC’s first virtual
conference. In 2009, after learning of serious budget constraints throughout the department and the physical
conference being cancelled, it was decided that we would hold a “virtual” conference.
In 2008, Terry Atchison joined the leadership and co-chaired the conference with Don until 2012. In 2012 the
conference moved to Hewitt-Trussville High School in Trussville due to scheduling conflicts at the BJCC. In 2013
the conference returned to the BJCC. Terry Atchison also began his current term as the conference coordinator.
Donna Fuller has been the meeting planner for the conference since 1998. She and Joan Greene-Fisher became
co-coordinators of the conference in 2014. Donna currently coordinates the scheduling of sessions and the
program; Joan coordinates logistics for the conference.
In 2013, the conference introduced its very own conference app, giving participants yet another way to
experience the conference. AETC is also very active in social media, with almost 1,000 followers on Twitter
(@AETC_Alabama) and over 600 likes on its
Facebook page (Alabama Educational
Technology Conference). Technology has
evolved, and the conference has followed
suit. The hands-on workshop labs and bringyour-own-laptop workshops, under the
direction of Cheri Hayes; and one-hour
concurrent sessions have all continued to
offer topics on the latest and greatest in
technology today!

“Reset the Presets”
Apps, websites, and operating systems have preset standards that most everyone clicks
past without a second thought. It takes extra effort to alter the defaults, so we end up
trusting those settings. Defaults work for most people, but sometimes unchecking the
default and customizing your computing experience opens up greater possibilities.
Tony Vincent makes the case for taking the time to uncheck the standard settings and
NEWCOMER SESSION
explore what can happen when you control the settings (instead of them controlling you).

TONY VINCENT
The only thing Tony Vincent likes better than teaching is
learning. He currently resides in Council Bluffs, Iowa, but he
used to teach fifth grade in Nebraska. Since 1998 he’s been a
pioneer in digital learning, having a classroom website before
many classrooms even had Internet access. In 2001 he had a 1:1
classroom full of Palm Pilots, and in 2005 he started one of the
first podcasts from an elementary school. Tony experienced how
empowering it was for students to be equipped with tools to
help them be productive and creative. Later he became his
school’s technology coach and helped his colleagues integrate
technology.
Today Tony Vincent works as a self-employed consultant. He has
traveled to 40 states, Canada, Australia, England, and the
Caribbean to facilitate workshops and to make presentations to
K-12 educators and students. He has authored books, produced videos, developed an iPad app,
and blogged about learning and technology. Tony believes that students learn best when they are
engaged in authentic tasks—tasks that matter to them. He has many examples to show, advice to
give, and technology to demonstrate.
Tony's latest project is the iPad app, Stick Around. It empowers students, teachers, and parents to
design, play, and share sorting and labeling puzzles.

LESLIE FISHER
Leslie Fisher’s interest in technology began while studying music at
the University of Southern California. She quickly realized the value
of utilizing computers for music mixing and thus began a personal
discovery process where technology replaced the flute and brought
her nationally celebrated talents to us today.
After graduating from USC with a Business and Marketing degree in
1989, she went to an Apple Computer Inc. subsidiary where she was in charge of the education
marketing and training program. Wanting more technical experience, Leslie left this company in
1992 and joined Apple Computer Inc. as a Senior Systems Engineer in K-12 education, providing
technology solutions to school districts across Southern California.
When the Internet took off in 1994, Leslie was one of the first Apple employees assigned to study
Internet growth and implementation. Due to her knowledge of Web design, server
implementation, and Internet Resources, she became the Internet resource in the Educational
Western Region.
In 1997 Leslie created Fisher Technologies Inc. to help educators with their technology
implementation and decision making. Fisher Technologies Inc. is now a nationwide corporation
providing Web design, consulting, training, and presentation services to school districts and
companies.

Learning How to Drive a Mouse
Teaching a simplistic way to navigate a database for K-4 early learners can be difficult. PebbleGo
is a top choice for young learners just starting down the road of research. It introduces early
learners to databases (Animals, Science, Social Studies, and Biographies) and research concepts with easyto-use search tools. Young researchers will have the ability to easily write about their findings and navigate
a site generator. Writing to sources is a key task from much of today’s instruction and standards. It requires
that students not only show that they can analyze and synthesize sources but can also present careful
analysis, well-defended claims, and clear information through their writing. This session will demonstrate
how a teacher can easily implement PebbleGo. You will certainly be a hero with an innovative way to teach
navigation skills at an early age. Vendor-sponsored session.

Professional Development - On the Flipped Side
Teachers are at so many levels when it comes to technological skills. What to do? What to do? This presentation will cover ways to flip
professional development for teachers just as teachers are flipping instruction in the classroom. This method can easily be used with
professional learning. When you flip the training and give teachers instructions ahead of time, you can spend more time with hands-on practice.
Teachers get met where they are and high fliers can keep flying. The presentation offers Web tools to use, design ideas, resources, and practice.
(This concept applies to other areas outside of technology).

The Connected Classroom: How Twitter Can Transform Learning and Amplify Student Voice
If our youth are going to invent the future we have to start reinventing the way they learn. For the first time in human history, our youth can have
access to information, resources, and connections that could help them transcend virtually any circumstance and grow into future ready citizens.
In Marc Prensky’s Digital Natives Partnering for Real Learning he argues that “what ultimately counts in education (certainly from the point of view
of the person being educated) is not standardized test scores, content, or curriculum. What truly matters is each student as an individual.”
Therefore, what we as educators need to be asking ourselves is are we providing the type of learning that will support each individual (our
students) to go as far as their capabilities allow, their passions desire, and their complete selves need? In our session educators will learn how to
employ social media to empower their students and themselves. We will discuss and demonstrate practical techniques and learning protocols
that will deeply impact how your students communicate with an authentic audience and become connected learners. We will also reveal how the
CCRS literacy standards are embedded throughout this learning process.
