The two posts below outline ways that anyone can experience ISTE virtually. First, Richard Byrne focuses on ISTE Unplugged (which is free), then Chris Atkinson offers us several other ways to stay informed about the happenings at ISTE. You can also participate in ISTE remote for just $79.

Two Lists: Great Conference Advice
I'm missing ISTE again. Too far (and therefore too expensive) for me this year. This morning, while trolling Twitter, I ran across these two blog posts with advice for ISTE attendees.
First, Richard Byrne at Free Technology for Teachers offers 7 Tips for ISTE newbies. Among his tips are charge your batteries (on the electronic devices), don't forget your comfortable shoes and attend vendor-sponsored soirees to meet people and get free food.
Second, Steve Dembo at Teach 42 suggests What not to do at ISTE. Steve's tips include Don't be a XXXXXXX and don't confine yourself to sessions from your friends and favorites.
Both of these posts can apply to ANY conference you might attend. It is good to attend conferences and workshops and these tips can help you make the most of it.
As for me, my goal is to attend ISTE 2012 in San Diego!

Here's a great post from Ozge Karaoglu to get you started in 2010. She offers great suggestions for getting started with blogging, tweeting and participating in online professional development. Perhaps one of the most important tips for the year is to consider registering a domain name.

Networking for Shy People
I ran across this embedded at Richard Byrne's blog "Free Technology for Teachers." This would be great to use with students who don't understand the importance of networking (let alone how to do it). I wish I'd had this years ago. I still have a hard time networking because, as in the slideshow, I'm one of those people who'd rather be reading at home!
