Thank you for joining us for our 100th episode! For this special episode, we wanted to bring you the voices of one group that inspires us--our fellow Apple Distinguished Educators! We collected tips, tricks, app advice, and websites that we think can benefit everyone. Since this was recorded at the global institute while we were in Ireland, you will hear voices from around the world! We’re trying to get this out quickly, so you won’t find any show notes, but if you have questions about anything in particular, contact us and we’ll research it. Enjoy and thank you for your support! Slàinte, and here’s to the next 100!
We want to extend a very special thank you to the following ADEs who generously shared their time (in no particular order): Robert B, Rich C, Scott J, Gabriel A, Maxx J, Brian Z, Praise M, Nelson T, Doug K, Elaine W, Julie G, Leslie S, Kevin M, Mike L, Sue G, Domizio B, Kiyotaka H, David L, Christian H, Adrian H, Miles B, Kevin M, Cormac C, Gordon W, Peter M, Camilla G, Mike M, Jim H, Bill S, Scott M, Don H, Katie M, Rae N, Rita M, Andy B, Luis P, Chris T, Keith H, Jonathan H, Gilbert H, Sherri C, Karen B, Chuy (Jesus H), Martha V, Cesar M, Josep C, Gabriel B, Nathan L, Tami B, Angie H, Ellen F, Erin L, Miguel S, Kate K, Harry S, Peter F, Chris P, Nia U, Abdul C, Mike A, Matt C, Kaori H, Laura E, Julie H, Stace C, Anthony J, Cyprien L, Kathy S, Carolyn S, Jennie M, Nicolas V, Mark C, Jill V, Colin H, Koen M, Kurt K, Cheryl D, Henry F, David B
We're on the Emerald Isle! And WOW!! It's beautiful! Yet another mobile episode but this time from the left side of the road with the steering wheel on the right. We're all turned around but learn from our experiences! Links are mostly out of order because WE were all over the place!
Don't worry, as of this writing, episode 100 has been recorded, too, here in Ireland. It will take a bit of work to publish, but we think you'll be pleased!

Lots of road noise as we were podcasting outside of Starbucks in a busy area. A few shrieks as crickets landed on us or our stuff and completely freaked us out.

First we get kicked out of Barnes & Noble because they close. Seriously? Why can't they be 24 hours? Don't they know we need to podcast? And then we go to the patio of their Starbucks and face the two foot tall beetles that wanted to see what we were up to, the 40 mile per hour winds that required we HOLD our laptops and the daisy chaining of surge protectors (yes, we each carry our own) to be able to reach a table. THEN they have to chain down the tables and chairs. With us in them. We move a car next to the building and feed the cables through the open window and sit inside to podcast in as wind-free an environment we can muster. Then we get so overly exhausted we can stop laughing at all of the shirts in the "funny" section of Cafe Press. Until it's after 1am and we finally attempt to go our separate ways only to find out that we've run down the battery and have to use one vehicle to jump the other. See?? See what we go through for YOU, our worthy listeners?!

TCEA 2012 had the Tech Chicks all a-twitter. Ha ha! Anyway, this is our round-up podcast about the sessions we attended and the vendors we loved.
Adobe Academy - Anna attended a great hands-on session on content creation with Adobe. Check out the Adobe Education (http://www.adobe.com/education.html) site for great resources including lesson plans, ideas and tutorials.
Jamey Osborne (http://jameyo.com/) had a great session on creating iOS web apps! Brush up your Javascript!
Promethean (http://support.prometheanplanet.com/server.php?show=nav.17508) - We love the new features in ActivInspire!
Lynell Burmark (http://www.lynellburmark.org/) had a session, IWB apps: From the iPad to the Wall which had us revisit an app we'd definitely overlooked...
Doceri (http://doceri.com/) is an awesome app for controlling your Mac or Windows machine from your iPad in the classroom. It has great markup tools and a nifty stylus which is handy for doing the drawing tools.
Splashtop Whiteboard (http://www.splashtop.com/whiteboard) is still a favorite of ours, too, don't get us wrong. The pricing scheme of Doceri and Splashtop are such that you can pick whichever is most cost effective for your situation.
FableVision (http://www.fablevision.com/) asked us to show off their fine software! We picked our favorites, Animation-ish (http://shop.fablevisionlearning.com/animationish/fa/shop.detail/productID/2542/) , Big Screen Books (http://shop.fablevisionlearning.com/big-screen-books-ish/fa/shop.detail/productID/2766/), and Stationary Studio (http://www.fablevision.com/stationerystudio). Definitely check them out!
We had a QR code session with a great group of educators. Thanks for all who attended! Here are the resources we shared (http://techchicktips.wikispaces.com/QRQrazy).
Atomic Learning (http://atomiclearning.com) did a neat thing with their t-shirts at the booth. Check out the cool video here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3OntdDRlJI)
Loved seeing our Twitter friends @paulrwood, @technolibrary, @ipadsammy, @bryanpdoyle, @rrodgers, @neontetra and @mrhooker for BBQ and donuts! And then them and more including @kevinhoneycutt, @mradkins, and @jmaklary, and our local friends @JGraytxchk, @hlandez, @kevinfoxxy, and @jessicablanca at the official Twitter meet up.
Clever swag included a chair massage at some booth with an A... oh wait, Helen had to look it up for us. Absolute Software (http://www.absolute.com/) offered the chair massages. And then we think it was Flexile (http://www.flexile.net/) that was offering caricatures using their tools to show video conferencing and interactive whiteboards.
Inspiration (http://www.inspiration.com/) is coming out with an iPad app which looks really awesome but is missing a critical feature in our opinion. Listen to find out what that is. Anna will probably still buy it because she's an iOS app junkie.
We still love the Lock -n- Charge (http://www.lockncharge.com/) cart for charging the laptops. They have iPad charging carts, too, and they have REALLY thought out the needs of a charging cart!
Bretford (http://bretford.com/category/seating/soft-seating/motiv-seating/) furniture has built-in power. Can we have this for our houses?
We did a mobile learning session and want to give a special thanks to two of our new favorite apps, DoInk Express and GroupShot, that gave out promo codes for us to raffle!
DoInk Express (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/doink-express-messaging-photos/id414067189?mt=8) is an awesome app for iPhone/iPod for tweening and flipbook animation. It's the baby cousin to the DoInk for iPad (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/doink-animation-drawing/id364762290?mt=8) app we talked about in a previous episode. It's a mere $1.99 and worth every penny.
GroupShot (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/groupshot/id488709126?mt=8) is a magic app. MAGIC, we tell you! When you take several photos of a group of people trying to get the one perfect shot, you can actually merge the best heads from each shot into one. And it's MAGIC. Wow! Seriously! Check it out! It's 99 cents! Buy it now!
In conclusion, it was another great TCEA!
Whoa… Got a long commute? I hope so because this is a LONG one!

What? You thought there would be content? Sorry, no. We're at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Broadcast in Phoenix, Arizona with the ADE Institute. We snuck into a sound room to record this. :)
We're mobile again, on our way back from TEPSA and playing with our new toy, the iRig. We learned after the fact that our settings were not ideal. Next time will be better. We start off a little bit on a soapbox. But... we're probably preaching to the choir. Listen through to the end - we have free codes to give away for an excellent iPhone/iPod/iPad app!

We'll let you in on a little secret. This episode was recorded just minutes after the last one. Back in March. Remember how we said in the description of the last podcast that we didn't mean to wait so long to publish it? Well, that goes double for this one. We mention an app that was free last month and is $5 now. It's still a good app but... free is so much better, no? Find links at our web site at http://techchicktips.net

Our reflections on NECC 2009. This was originally well over an hour but we were nice and edited out a lot of the silly bits. Don't worry, we still get a little punchy. Our NEXT podcast promises to be full of meat - not just potatoes. Unless you're a vegetarian...
If you're not interested in the iPhone... best to not bother listening. We're iPhone fangirls, afterall. This is all things iPhone 3.0 software and iPhone 3GS
Lucky us! Will Richardson came to Killeen to present to a group of teachers and admin. The topic was "From Information Literacy to Information Leadership." It was a great session that was uStreamed (link to follow on our web site at http://techchicktips.net) for at least part. Of course Murphy's Law rules supreme and our network went down in the building for a great portion of the presentation. We had the opportunity to interview Will Richardson as he was a captive audience on the way back to the airport to return home. We used Anna's iPhone with a Thumbtack mic. Not sure what was causing the strange thuunnnngg sounds throughout, but for the most part, it was pretty good for being in a car and through a phone.

-
All About Explorers - All About Explorers was developed by a group of teachers as a means of teaching students about the Internet. Because we wanted to make a point about finding useless information even in a site which looked at first to be fairly well put together, all of the Explorer biographies here are fictional. While many of the facts are true or based on truth, many inaccuracies, lies, and even downright absurdity are mixed in indiscriminately. As such, it is important that you do not use this site as a source of reference for your own research! Follow @explorers on Twitter.

Live from the Apple Educator Institute. Just a bit of reflection during our sleep deprivation and before we head to the airport to fly home.
Well, it's certainly about time! We've been podcasting a year, even though it's been a month and a half since the last. Today's episode is all about the geek gadgets we use on a regular basis.

In this episode, we share our interview with Dan Schmit, of Kidcast fame (http://www.intelligenic.com ). Dan was the keynote speaker at the Beyond4Walls conference in Farmers Branch, TX, on Friday, November 3rd, 2006. Dan and Anna have been working together on the “Where in the World” podcast since last Spring, so it was great to finally get to sit down and talk. We also mention Wes Fryer’s website (http://speedofcreativity.org ) and use music from Derek K. Miller (“Had a Plan, Had to Change It”) from the Podsafe Music Network (http://music.podshow.com/). Join us next week for our interview with Wes Fryer.
