Tips and tricks for gadgets and software for your digital life given by two Texas chicks obsessed with anything digital. The podcast is geared specifically to educators interested in integrating technology into their curriculum. Companion blog, forums and resources at: http://techchicktips.net/
We’re just two Texas tech chicks (Helen = techchick, Anna = digimom) that are into anything digital and want to share tips and tricks we’ve found along the way.

0096 TCT - Determined to publish!
Author: Two Tech Chicks Fri, May 25, 2012
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?!

0093 TCT - TCEA 2012 Roundup
Author: Two Tech Chicks Sun, Feb 19, 2012
TCEA 2012Â 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!

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

0055 TCT - A short interview with Will Richardson
Author: Two Tech Chicks Mon, Jun 22, 2009
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.

0050 TCT - The Golden Episode
Author: Two Tech Chicks Thu, Mar 05, 2009
Resources
* Jeopardy Labs - Allows you to create a customized jeopardy template without PowerPoint. The games you make can be played online from anywhere in the world.
* TikaTok - Imagine a story, create a book. (we forgot to tell you that you can send in your students' work and they'll scan it for you!)
* Kinetic City - Amazing collection of games, science experiments, and projects. Beat the bugs and set things right.
* JayCut - Online video editing.
* Edmodo - Edmodo is a private microblogging platform that teachers and students can use to send notes, links, files, alerts, assignments, and events to each other.
* 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.
* In Web Age, Library Job Gets Update - NY Times article about how the job of librarians is changing in the digital age.
Faves
* Mancala FS5 ($FREE) - strategic thinking board game gone global.
* ABC Animals ($2.99) - ABC Animals provides a wonderful set of interactive flashcards that aid in teaching young children to recognize, say and print English alphabet letters.
