Do most of you go to any of these shows? If you do, what are the pro's and con's of them. FETC, NECC, VSTE, GaETC, TCEA, CUE, there are a ton of conferences. I am curious to hear from teachers, IT…Continue

If you could apply a BIOS update or load a small control kernel on a regular PC (or MAC if Apple would allow it), and then attach 4 sets of keyboards, mice, and monitors, and load 4 copies of Windows…Continue

"Speaking from a bias and from having attended the TCEA convention for over 25 years, TCEA wins hands-down if your focus is the classroom. With over 450 sessions and 16,000 attendees, there's always something to learn. This year, they're…"

"I've been to all of them, as a vendor. From the vendor standpoint, they are all about the same. If you have a regional product, then the NYSCATE's, and VSTE's, and NCAET are the best bet."

"I went to NECC (I think it is ISTE now) and it had around 400 or more vendors there. They had more breakout sessions than I could muster time for. It is well worth it if you can make it. I heard that FETC and TCEA are about the same."

"Dave, From my experience (I'm a manufacturer), if you need to pick one show this year it's a toss up between FETC and ISTE (Formerly known as NECC). The size of both of those shows ensures great quality and quantity of attendees, ed tech…"

FETC vs NECC vs TCEA vs ????

Do most of you go to any of these shows? If you do, what are the pro's and con's of them. FETC, NECC, VSTE, GaETC, TCEA, CUE, there are a ton of conferences. I am curious to hear from teachers, IT directors, administrators which shows you like. Large ones, small ones, targeted ones, local ones, warm ones, shows during school, shows during summertime. I think that a lot of the members would love to know why FETC is better than NECC, for instance.

Dave Peterson replied to Randy Williams's discussion Fiddlehead hardware agnostic cloning
"It actually takes a lot less time than using Ghost or any other such imaging tool. It takes about 4-10 minutes per PC with no prep work required. The only disadvantage is that you have to build an initial image (one time only process). There are…"

About Me
I am very interested in developing means by which schools can build sustainable technology refresh schedules using server based computing. I also believe that there is a way to transition from applications that cost money up front and applications that are free (open source). LTSP, Fiddlehead, Disklessworkstations, cloud computing are of interest to me.
