Flocabulary

On Saturday, October 20, 2012 I attended EdCamp Harrisburg held at Harrisburg University. Yes, I am a geek. I spent a full day at a conference that gave me no professional development credit and you know what. I loved every second of it.
It was my first time seeing the Pennsylvania State Capitol that close but it was my second EdCamp experience. And it did not dissapoint. I learned so many new things my head is still spinning. I learned what I need to upgrade on my MacBook Pro in order to creat e-textbooks for the iPad. I learned a few good websites for creating QR Code games (http://qrwild.com and http://www.classtools.net/QR/). And I was one of the big winners. I won a year site license for Flocabulary! I can't wait to tell my principal tomorrow morning. I plan to use the Flocabulary video below with my students this week as we study the election process and if this video is any indication of what is available through Flocabulary, my students are going to love it!!!
