Today was my first day of TCEA Convention 2010.  For those of you who are not familiar with TCEA, it is Texas Education Computer Association.  Every year they have a huge conference right in downtown Austin.

I’m already collecting some fun new websites to try with teachers and students.  Check them out and see what you think!
