 * Session 1--8:00 am - 8:45 am: ** Connecting with eLearning through Podcasting. **On a scale of 1 to 5, I would give this session a 2. Didn't really learn anything.
 * Session 2--10:30 am: Exhibet Hall C- **Posters on Podcasting prepared by a local Columbus High School . ﻿** I would rate this as a 2 also.
 * Session 3--10:45--11:00am was cancelled.....visited the exhibitors hall and I found** LJ CREATE Learning for Life ﻿. ** This company offers Sci-TEK econtent lessons which are deliverable via the internet. LJ Create can supply customized lessons as a SCORM compliant package to load on our LMS. The sales rep is working with the Steubenville City schools and the Toronto city schools. This may be something for the VLA Science courses. I would rate this a 5.
