**Space for Reflection:** There have been many ups and some downs at this conference, but overall it has been a positive experience. One of the things I wanted to accomplish at this conference was finding more technology tools to use in the classroom. Currently, I use a lot of the basics like blogs, creative commons/Flickr, Google apps, academic screensavers, iMovie, photobooth etc; and I wanted to supplement what I do with some new tools and sites. After attending many of the conference sessions, I feel that I now have some new tools and sites to play around with and to use with my students. However, I just need to find the time to make that happen**.** Apart from this, I found that I really enjoyed some of the more theoretical discussions as well as the sessions that covered looking to the future at the changing shape of education. As a teacher and a parent of teenagers I see how this younger generation is shaped by technology and how their social and academic needs differ from that of my generation. I think it's important that we as educators are addressing these changes and differences.
