ISTE Winners!
ISTE 2010 has been GREAT so far! We are on our last day and we have had so much fun here in Denver. Here’s a recap of what we’ve been up to.
As a part of the show, we thought it would be fun to hold a contest where you could literally Unlock Your Potential. Prior to the show, we sent out a bunch of keys to educators across the nation and we asked them to bring the key with them to ISTE. The participants were then given the opportunity to see if their key unlocked the LearnKey prize box for a chance to win a Kindle, i-Pod shuffles, or flash drives!
Here are a few of our winners!
Kindle Winner: Lisa Westmoeland from Derby, KS
iPod Shuffle Winner: Helen mowers from Killeen, TX
iPod Shuffle Winner: Peggy Perkins from Bastrop, TX
Tom’s Blooper Reel
We love Tom Carpenter here at LearnKey! Actually he’s heading back into our studio today to begin the filming of Server+ and because we love him so much, we thought that this time around we should honor him! So, we brainstormed for a couple of weeks about what we could do to express our gratitude publicly and well, we all agreed that this video would do the job perfectly!
ENJOY!
Thanks for being a good sport Tom!

PowerPoint 2010- Broadcast Slide Show
Michael Meskers is back in the LK house and is in the midst of filming our PowerPoint 2010 training! We always enjoy working with Michael. He really knows his stuff!
Speaking of PowerPoint 2010, did you know that it has the capability to broadcast presentations over the Internet for remote view or for viewers over the network? All you need is a Windows Live ID! How cool is that?
All you need to do is open a presentation in PowerPoint, start a broadcast, and share the unique link PowerPoint provides with your audience. Then anyone, anywhere who is listening to your presentation via phone or conference call can open the link and see your slide show in their Web browser. Whenever you change a slide or start an animation their view is updated automatically.
Very cool.
