Over fifty years ago, 3M was innovative in bringing a simple display
technology – the overhead projector – into the classroom. It seems
“Old School” today, but it changed the way teachers taught and the
way students learned.
Come see
the classroom
of the future at
Booth #955
Today, 3M is responding to an equally challenging demand: bring
the best in technology into the center of every digital classroom.
Make the images bigger, brighter and interactive to engage the
students. And make it as easy to afford as it is to set up and use.
Old school with a new lease on life.

Take the proven
path to success
integrated products
digital content
Technology products have the power to transform teaching and learning in any
classroom. But realizing the full potential of classroom technology takes more than
hardware and software.
SMART solutions include integrated, easy-to-use products that are complemented by
training and professional development, digital lesson content, a large and growing
community of educators, and the support and services you need to implement
technology successfully and stay on track to achieve your desired results.
Today, over 30 million teachers and students worldwide use SMART products. And
for nearly two decades, educators have chosen the SMART path – a path that leads
to greater student engagement, improved learning outcomes, faster technology
adoption by teachers and accelerated return on investment. It’s a proven path that
leads to success.
Take the first step by visiting us at TCEA in booth 1431.

WELCOME LETTER FROM KARLA
On behalf of the TCEA Board of Directors, Convention Steering Committee,
Executive Director, and staff, welcome to the 2011 Convention & Exposition
– no limITs: technology beyond imagination. Today there are no limITs to the
opportunities for teaching and learning anytime, anywhere.
We are limited only by our imagination!
During your time here, you will have access to limitless resources
through the many sessions, workshops, featured
speakers sessions, playgrounds, academies, and exhibits.
The steering committee has worked tirelessly to ensure
that the speakers, presenters, and activities are the very
best. I encourage you to use your convention planner
either online or via the mobile app to personalize your
convention experience.
If this is your first time to attend TCEA, there are two
first-timers sessions designed to give you an overview
of the convention and tips for navigating your way
through the many offerings available. I encourage you
to take advantage of this entertaining session!
The exhibit hall is always a highlight of the convention. There you will see
the latest educational technology products and services. Many exhibitors
offer presentations periodically throughout the convention, and many also
give away door prizes!
Please join us at the annual social on Thursday evening. “Thursday Night
Fever” will have you groovin’ to the music of our live band Signed, Sealed,
Delivered. There will be games, great door prizes, appetizers, drinks, and a
cash bar.
It has been my great honor to serve as the vice president of convention this
year. It is my hope that your convention experience continues beyond this
week through the ideas, resources, and contacts that you take with you.
May your convention experience truly have no limITs!

audiences to recognize the full potential of individuals in their
community—and to find value in those who society has deemed
valueless. She shares her personal Blind Side observations,
from seeing Michael Oher for the first time to how the experience
changed her as a person—and the Tuohys as a family.
“He had a much greaterimpact on our lives than we did on his
life,” says Leigh Anne.
explore
“There was a new force in Michael Oher’s
life: a woman paying extremely close
attention to him who had an eye for
detail, a nose for trouble, the heart of a
lion and the will of a storm trooper.”
— from The Blind Side
The Tuohy family is actively involved in many civic and
faith-based organizations, including Grace Evangelical
Church, of which they are founding members. The
Tuohy family’s life, as chronicled in Lewis’ New York
Times number one best-seller The Blind Side, went on
to become a record-breaking Hollywood blockbuster
that earned more than $200 million at the box office
and became the number-one opening weekend for a
sports film in history.

Meet Dan - the latest teacher to turn his
classroom upside down...
The blank stare queen...
The furious notetaker...
The “just resting my eyes” guy...
I’m high school teacher Dan
Spencer and I’ve gotten to know
these kinds of students well. And
as a new teacher, they terrified me.
In order to reach them, I knew I
would have to step outside my
comfort zone and try something
new. I had to find a way to pair
my love of technology with my
student’s craving for digital,
interactive experiences.
The result I flipped my classroom.
Now, instead of traditional
classtime, I record my daily
lessons and send them home
as homework. During classtime,
I’m 100% available to answer
questions and conduct hands-on
learning activities.
I’ve come to the TCEA Conference
with the software that made it
possible - Camtasia by TechSmith.
I’d love to share my experiences
with you and show you how their
software has helped me tailor my
teaching methods to the 21st
century learner.
Stop by booth #2517 to meet
Dan Spencer and pick up free
trial versions of TechSmith’s
software.
When I first began my
teaching career, I felt like I
was talking at my kids. At
the end of the day, they had
no clue what I was talking
about. I started wondering
if this teaching thing was
really for me… and then I
started the experiment that
turned everything around.

About the set-up of the Web. 2.0 Lounge
The Web 2.0 lounge is set-up to resemble a remarkable learning space, I.D.E.A.
A 21ST CENTURY LEARNING SPACE I.D.E.A. Glenbrook North High School
The Innovation, Discovery, and Engagement Area (I.D.E.A) of Glenbrook North High School is a 21st century
learning space designed for all learners. Designed to foster a community of scholarly exchange and a
culture of interdisciplinary connections, the I.D.E.A. provides multiple opportunities for learning and professional
development.
The intent of the I.D.E.A is to provide a 21st century habitat for the development of 21st century habits.
The space, located adjacent to the school library, provides adaptable, customizable, and flexible spaces
that support both formal and informal experiences for learning, with scheduled professional development,
as well as opportunities for just-in-time learning. Spaces such as a “Thought Lounge” encourage creativity
and innovation, and opportunities for reflection in a “think tank” atmosphere. A “New Media Literacies”
production area, capable of supporting high-end media development, is available to both students and
teachers, with the intent of fostering interaction and collaboration between the two groups in an effort to
blur traditional roles and relationships in order to create a school of learners.
34
Technologies embedded in the space focus on the capture and distribution of learning events, as well as
the ability to connect to any location around the globe. This helps facilitate a digital version of the I.D.E.A.

that models learning independent of time, space, place, and
device. An open wireless network and open device policy
encourage users to bring and utilize personal technologies for
learning. Finally, the goals of the space are enhanced by a realization
that all surfaces can serve and contribute to learning,
so that creative uses of walls, carpeting, windows, and even
support pillars extend the learning experience.
I.D.E.A is designed to be an open and visible space for all
learners, with multiple entry points for participation. It is
intended to be a magnet for learners and learning, and is
quickly becoming a place where self-directed learning and
diverse learning modalities are accepted, encouraged, and are integral components of the Glenbrook North
experience. Rooted in research on space design, learning theory, motivation theory, and learner traits, the
I.D.E.A. brings together all learners in a social learning space designed with intent.

SHARE YOUR VOICE AT CONVENTION ...
Attend the Legislative Panel on Tuesday,
February 8 from 5 to 6 pm in room 19B
or visit the TCEA booth
and sign up for ETAN.
Texas faces real challenges in these tough economic times.
As we work to solve today’s problems, it is important
that we understand what skills our students will need
in order to address the problems that will present
themselves in their future.
All students in Texas need 21st century knowledge and skills
to succeed as effective citizens, workers, and leaders
in the 21st century. In order to provide these skills,
school districts need funding to:
• Equip their schools with a robust
technical infrastructure
• Provide adequate equipment for ubiquitous
access to digital tools and content
• Ensure access to high-quality professional
development for their teachers
In order to address these challenges,
TCEA has increased the organization’s advocacy
efforts both in Texas, as well as in Washington D.C.
