Attendee Testimonials

Here are just a few comments from TechEd 2005 attendees...

"The hands-on computer training workshops were extremely helpful, as we acquired new software that not only helps us maintain a competitive advantage, but also allows us to mentor our clients in adapting these new technologies for the classroom."


"Tech Ed was a triple win for me—excellent keynote addresses, some wonderful speakers in the technical sessions, and some truly amazing exhibits and vendors in the exhibit hall. The most worthwhile aspect of TechEd to me was networking, meeting people who are defining the state of the art in technology, and brainstorming about possible initiatives for technology in my university setting."
"I find it very valuable to attend the TechEd conference each year. It is a great place to learn about new technology, and to pick up new skills!"
“The Exhibit Hall was my favorite part of TechEd. I was able to see solutions that I didn't know existed ("you don't know what you don't know").”
"TechEd is always a great place for networking and getting current with how others are using technology to support teaching and learning."
"I was able to collaborate with colleagues from all different educational backgrounds! I met very interesting people and got an interesting perspective regarding how they carry on their business of teaching."
"I enjoyed meeting some of the vendors that I have talked to over the phone. Getting more up to date information on products and seeing the new products that are coming into the marketplace."
 "Hands on workshops and keynote speakers were excellent!"

"The sharing of information among other professionals and your focus on distance learning proved helpful to our rural schools."

"TechEd was an excellent opportunity to share ideas with other colleagues on the use of technology and the positive role technology can play in the enhancement of student learning."

"TechEd gave me the ability to meet and share information with the presenters." 
"At TechEd I always get new ideas of activities that I can add to my classes. In this way, I keep my classes interesting and offer different learning styles for my students."

"Tech Ed provided several useful ideas that I was able to take back to my campus and easily incorporate."
"There’s a good mix of local, national and international educators sharing their technology experiences and successes. The variety of speakers, presenters, exhibitors and attendees provided worthwhile information and genuine inspiration."

"I liked sharing new practices with peers mostly through the Roundtable presentations.  This is where, in my case, most of the conversations have started. Concurrent sessions are good. TechEd is very much oriented through practices and distinguishes itself from conferences like SITE."

"I really enjoyed viewing technology up front in exhibit hall."
"It was great to learn new technologies and about what others are doing."
"The variety is wonderful; I am able to choose the most appropriate events for my purposes from a full menu."
"The hands-on experiences with a wide variety of workshops were wonderful!"
"I loved the workshops and sessions on digital media."
"For me, the most worthwhile part of TechEd was meeting various vendors and their products. The meeting of other people in your area of interest."
"The hands on workshops, the internet cafe set-up, the exhibit hall, & the location! EXCELLENT!"
"TechEd allowed me to meet with like-minded colleagues and to attend sessions where I learned about something new."
"The fact that it focuses on technology for educators is the most worthwhile aspect of TechEd."
"Some of the sessions that I attended helped me think about using technology in unique ways; e.g. using a Smart Board to help American Sign Language users gain proficiency in standard English grammar. Also, I saw a 3D printer in the exhibit hall that could be used to produce complex tactile representations for students who have visual impairments or blindness."
"I learned a lot at TechEd by hearing struggles from various participants and then the solutions offered from other participants or speakers."
"The Tech Ed Conference exceeded my expectations. I returned to Career College of CA with a renewed mission to introduce many of the seminars and workshops into our daily work experiences. Thanks for helping CCC to become better at helping our students to enter the economic mainstream of our society through better training."
"The networking and diversity of attendees… administrators, techies, faculty K to graduate, was excellent!"
"The seminars that I attended were quite good, informative, and interestingly organized."
"The TechEd conference is always a rich blend of knowledge and hands-on for today's educators who are seeking answers to issues in technology in the classroom."
"This was my first TechEd conference and I was very thankful I attended. I learned so much from the different workshops. The potential tools for learning and classroom instruction amazed me and I decided to begin saving my money to purchase some equipment from Logical Choice Technologies. Thank you again for an outstanding first time experience of touching the future tech. info."
"I felt the sessions you provided on accessibility issues were great. The session by Steve Timmer was invaluable. Getting information on how to improve computer services and access for students at a minimal cost is always valuable."
"I thoroughly enjoyed and received invaluable information in the pre-conference sessions. There was a nice mix of concurrent sessions offered as well as the symposiums."
"Hands-on computer workshops offered by Adobe were very well presented. There were so many interesting concurrent sessions offered on Tuesday at the same time that I wish I could have cloned myself to attend all of them!"
"The keynote speakers were excellent. They offered great insights into the future direction of technology. Their messages inspired me to continue seeking better ways to incorporate technology in education in a non-superficial format. They also provided key info that had immediate practical applications for the classroom."
