18. Affordable, Free & Effective Tech Tools for Education There were so many good resources that I am just going to put the link on here to the files so you can see them for yourself. All you have to do is go to: http://tntetc.wikispaces.com/file/view/TETC2011.pdf

19. RESOURCE OVERLOAD! After the conference I felt like I was in resource overload mode, and I�m sure you are probably feeling that way after seeing this presentation as well. My advice is to check out a web site each day and try to think of ways you might could utilize them in your classroom. Also, if you teach a certain subject area then you might can delete some of the slides that don�t pertain to you and it will seem a little less overwhelming.

20. References Each of these sources came from various presenters at the TETC 2011. I would like to say a special thank you to: Jill Hines Robin Philpot Thomas Fuhrman Randy Damewood Janet Grammar Mark Dohn � The Amazing guest speaker! These are the presenters who I thought shared the most valuable sources.
