Beginning this Sunday, June 19, I will be attending and presenting at the Tennessee Education Mobilization Summit hosted by Walters State Community College. This is a program sponsored by the Tennessee Board of Regents eLearning initiative, Walters State Community College, the Mid-East Tenessee Regional P-16 Council for Excellence in Education, and the Hamblen County Department of Education. In addition to a focus on mobile computing devices/technologies, there will also be an emphasis on Google Tools and the move to the cloud. Here’s an abbreviated list of the topic and some of the presenters.

I’m really excited about heraring from Abilene Christian University’s team of CIO, etc. with their initiative. In addition, I’ll be presenting on a number of topics with Google Docs, QR codes, and my MOBL 21 pilots. I think I’m also giving a hands-on iPad training … but I don’t have an iPad 2 yet. Eek! Gotta figure that one out. What would you like for me to pay attention to and bring back?

This sounds..OVER the TOP! Are there plans to move this conference across the state?
@Anna, this is a state-wide conference already! Folks from across the state are attending. Walters State CC is hosting because they have planned a specific mobilization adoption. Others need to get on board! What’s Union doin?
