2011-Smackdown

The Learning 2.0 Inaugural App Smackdown ("App Smackdown" used with permission, of course...)

Got a favorite app you think everyone should know about?

In the style of Edubloggercon, this year will mark Learning 2.0's first attempt at an "app smackdown" during lunch. In the cafeteria, we will have two computers set up with projectors and Internet connections. We will also have a document camera available if you'd like to show off an iOS or Android application.

The idea is simple: In two minutes or less (you will be timed and "gonged" after 120 seconds!), give us the elevator pitch for your "can't live without it" app. Show us the key features of the web or iOS app and tell us how you use it. With two work stations, we can have one person "on deck" and preparing as one person demos. This should keep things moving along nicely and allow participants to get a whirlwind tour of many apps in a short span of time.

There is no need to pre-register or sign up. Just bring your awesome apps and ideas to share.

We have never attempted this before, so be brave, take a leap of faith, and join us in showcasing the apps you use to get things done, take in content, or just have fun.
