Keynote speaker Todd Nesloney is a 4th grade teacher from Texas. He's won a crazy amount of awards, even ones from the president of the United States! You can learn more about him from his website http://www.toddnesloney.com/ and http://twitter.com/TechNinjaTodd
He was a great speaker and I could spend hours learning from him, in fact he popped up in several of my workshops later in the day!
I asked him about posting his students work and photos online. He reminded me that all schools have some sort of release but double check to see where it is okay to post photos. On personal websites be sure not to get students faces, last name or anything distinguishable . He also gave me a suggestion, use code names! Students love them, and they are soo much cooler! I don't know about you, but I have 170 students..that's alot of code names!! But I'm sure I can work something out!
