Scott Traylor (360KID website, 360blog), told us many new things about gaming.
Nintendo (Wii) normally not as violent as other gaming platforms by other companies.
Checkout some of Nintendo’s older stuff, i.e. the virtual boy.
Nintendo introduced the two screen hand-held earlier now they have the two screen touch screen.
Check out all the SIMS stuff: Sim city, the [...]
From the SLJ Summit Wiki for break-out presentations scroll down until you come to the Reference for the Digital Age to get information about each presenter.
From the Reference Remix link you will see the questions discussed. If not yet, then later you will see some of the discussion surrounding each question posted to the wiki.

WOW!
The wiki resources for this panel discussion were far better than my notes.
First, go to the overview page and follow all the links. You will see a description of what each panelist presented with supporting links. Doug Johnson’s thoughts (some of them) are at his blog—Blue Skunk (read his blog postings between November 10th and [...]
Anastasia Goodstein (Ypulse), author of “Totally Wired: What Teens and Tweens are really Doing Online” started the School Library Journal 2008 Summit.
If you have heard Joan Frye Williams speak then you have a very good idea what Anastasia (Totally Wired) said.
This post “Ypulse Essentials: Understanding The Transformer Generation, Afro-Latino Youth, Twitter On The Rise” does [...]

Several folks shared their WebQuests. A few shared resources for creating a WebQuest. Bernie shared a new Ning. WebQuest.Ning.com.
I am leaving the conference now. Best to all those who are staying and posting.
This was good. I had wanted to see a presentation about using phones in education. The presenter gave all kinds of ideas how to use the cell phone with text audio, and video. He had us do a survey with a free web site called PollEverywhere. It is free for a few questions but then [...]
A panel discussion by practitioners. This was a Follett Software presentation. I do not dis-like Follett. I love their books and book access tools (titlewave). But it was obvious to me that they had a different attitude and feel than the other 2.0 presentation that I had been attending. The difference seemed to be in [...]
Alan asked us a series of questions. We each had been given an ACTIVote. There were almost 300 of us in the audience giving input. It went really well.
