On July 24th and 25th, I had the opportunity to attend the Mid-Atlantic Handheld and Emerging Technology Conference, fondly known as MAHETC, with several other colleagues and friends from my school district. Thanks Carol for inviting me to attend. http://www.seaford.k12.de.us/mahcDuring the conference I had the opportunity to meet Tony Vincent who was the keynote presenter and who also taught several interactive workshops during the two-day seminar. The information he shared on how to use IPOD in the classroom and how to find and use free web-based applications was great. He has a very user-friendly website http://learninginhand.com During one of his sessions, he shared the following FREE web-based applications that are great for use in schools.
