Episode 32
Quick episode, but we have so much to share that we have to get this out to you (that and we haven’t posted in a while! sorry!). We’re at Tech Forum 2007 in Round Rock, TX, learning with some great speakers which you’ll hear more about later.

Twitter is for staying in touch and keeping up with friends no matter where you are or what you’re doing. It is about that social network, but it’s also about learning. We’re amazed at all the little “twitbits” that pop up in conversations with people we follow. Feel free to follow us as we explore this tool (digimom and techchick94).

notes from Tech Forum
ok–here are links to notes on Google docs–completely unedited but maybe some links you can pull from, including links to their conference materials:
- Wes Fryer’s keynote
- Wes Fryer and Miguel Guhlin’s preso on “empowering and protecting tomorrow’s digital citizens”
- David Jakes’ resources on Web 2.0 Best Practices
more to come–this is a great learning opportunity–we can’t wait to share!
Tech Forum in Austin
No, we haven’t fallen off the face of the Earth. Helen and I are at the Tech Forum in Austin Round Rock, Texas. We’ve already gotten to hear Wes Fryer’s keynote. Then Helen went to Wes’ breakout session with Miguel Guhlin while I stayed in the room for David Jakes’. We’re both totally pumped with ideas and a renewed energy for technology integration, specifically Web 2.0. We plan to podcast today and I have a feeling it’ll be a biggie because he had lots of content already, but NOW we have even MORE!
