Hosts Lindsay Simpson and Brooke Neamon traveled recently to Orlando to attend the Future Education Technology Conference (FETC). While there, we took note of some of the most popular and engaging tech tools that were being offered, and we decided to highlight some of those tools in this month's podcast. These are some of the tools that we reference in this episode:

- Sphero Indi

- Diffit

-Magic School AI

-Chat GPT

-Canva

We should mention that for all educators in the CA BOCES region, we have the popular Sphero Indi available to loan from Learning Resources. Please visit the Insignia page for more details and to sign it out on loan to use at your school.

In addition to these other great tools, we attended a great session on Adobe Express⁠. We interviewed Brooke Lowery from FriedTech, who was one of the presenters from the session.

Adobe Express is a digital creation tool that makes creation in the classroom a breeze for both educators and students. If you would like to learn more about how to use Adobe, Brooke shared links to some self-paced Educator Courses that you can take to familiarize yourself with the platform. Also, see the contact information at the bottom of the show notes for more Adobe Express resources.

If you are an educator within the Cattaraugus Allegany BOCES region, please visit our registration page to find upcoming Professional Development opportunities. On this page, you will also find information for our Summer TECCC Camp 2024, which will take place on August 6, 7, and 8th.

If you are interested in learning more or if you have questions, you can contact the hosts of today's podcast at Lindsay_simpson@caboces.org and Brooke_neamon@caboces.org.
