Samantha Morra and Lisa Thumann, Moderators

Here are a few details for those unfamiliar with a smackdown:

    •    A “Web 2.0 Smackdown”—or “Speed Demos”—involves fast and furious presentations by educators demonstrating their favorite Web tools.

    •    Choose one of your favorite web tools and quickly demo it for the group making sure to share ways that it can be integrated with teaching and learning.

    •    Each demo is allowed a maximum of 3 minutes.

    •    Warning: This is fast, frantic and lots of fun. The goal is to involve as many people as possible and learn about as many new resources as possible.
