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!

Wishing I was there: NECC 2009
One of the truly amazing things about technology and Web 2.0 tools is that even though NECC 2009 was beyond my budget this year, I can still benefit from the many fabulous sessions that are taking place. The ISTEConnects Blog is the first place to stop to find streaming video and a schedule of sessions that will be streamed.
Last night, I read this excellent post summarizing Malcolm Gladwell's keynote. The Ed Week Digital Education blog also has a summary and commentary on the keynote.
This morning, I read Wes Fryer's notes from a session that explains the "Rock Our World" project and how it is creating meaningful connections for students around the world.
Steve Dembo's Prezi on top 10 Web 2.0 Tools has some great resources. You can watch the session here.
A convenient schedule of streaming sessions can be found here and here.
My head is spinning from all this information.
