Overall the conference was well done. The accommodations and food were
very nice.

The conference was well thought out in that they supplied everyone
with a MacBook, iPad, and iPod Touch to use for both days. Each device
had the appropriate software installed. They had a conference notes
handout on the MacBook that listed everything they did in each session
with appropriate links. It was very handy to have.

The presenters were all very good and they had other Apple employees
assisting throughout each session.

Today we used all three devices to create artifacts specific to
different curriculum areas. Very impressive what you can do in the
Apple ecosystem with relative ease. They showed lots of good video of
what students are already doing in schools across the country.

I already posted on the other sessions so let me just say the science
session was one of the most impressive. We used the iPad exclusively
inconjunction with science probes. The probes measured the ph of two
soil samples and via Bluetooth sent and graphed the data onto the
iPad. It worked seamlessly.

Some of the schools represented were Mac schools but many were not.
With that in mind I would have emphasized how easy the iPod Touch and
iPad works with PC's and iTunes. Many people left the conference
thinking that have to buy Mac's to do all that they learned. Apple
should meet people where there are at and move them in the direction
they believe is good for students. Minor point but I think it would
help them.

Thank you Apple for a good conference and for showing me what is
possible. Now how do I convince my wife that we need a MacBook at
home?
