RT Q2: When you are at - do you go to sessions for the topic or presenter? What/Who are you going to see?
This is a meet up of all the chats!
A2: I choose sessions by presenter 1st then topic. But, I like to discover up and coming rockstar presenters too.
I know you’ll be following along with us!
Thanks Scott. Love all the work you do too with history and literacy!
A2: I am planning on looking at the program tomorrow and creating a plan of attendance. .
I'll just assume that is a bar/restaurant?
Nooo! Wish you were going!
A2: I've learned from lots of conferences to choose the presenter over the topic.
A2: In the past I've selected by topic, but as I've gotten to know more ppl through chats, I'm going to pick by presenter.
A2: I go usually for topic 1st, presenter 2nd, and location 3rd =)
A2 - I typically go for a mix of both...go to my fav presenters and go for topics if interested in learning more
Greetings , Kari here out of Long Beach, hope to meet many of you
Jumping in to ... First time in a while! What's the topic? 😃
Lindsey, 5th grade, Walnut Creek, CA
I expect our slam audience will be multitasking on Send them some questions.
A2: I go for both. There are names of great presenters and there are great topics. Too many to list. going to see
Looking forward to meeting you too!
A2- I look at topic carefully and then I decide based on who the presenter is.
Matchbox is Palm Canyon and Tahquitz Canyon, upstairs, if I remember correctly...
A2: Mostly topic, but often a combo of both, If u r reding this and presenting, I am attending ur session (void where impossible)
Me too. It would be 1st time & I would be in same place.
A2: Truth? I've been out of the Twitter game, so I am going based on topic.
So many great sessions. Lots will be shared tonight for you to add to your shed
A1: I'll be at on Thur, session pictured below & I'll def be at Live! Looking forward to it. https://t.co/f2N3aSTWjS
A2: Both! Started with topics, now I pay more attn to presenters. I've narrowed this yr's Sched to ~2 sessions per slot, ...
The Live Chat is more conversation based than actual tweets
a2: The dynamics are changing, I used to go for topic, now the speakers more and more, perhaps 50/50 speakers/topic
A2) I typically will look for a few presenter friends first and then go for topic. Location matters too since is spread out
wow! Great memory! And thanks! :)
A2 a lot of times the presenter you know of is more compelling than a possibly false description https://t.co/FWjUIqKlnt
A2 Both presenter and topics.
never been to a slam. What is the theme behind the slam?
A2: but I try to go to sessions via topic. Sometimes the 3rd grade Ts from Timbuktu is the diamond in the rough
I think I have 6 sessions marked for the first hour of !
Glad you’re here, are you presenting on badges?
A2: I try to mix it up. Look for topics interested in first and then presenter/location break ties. So many good choices!
A2: I'm going to look for stuff for Teacher Librarians for sure.
Hey a fellow teacher from my school!
Yay https://t.co/wJz9cYIolT

Definitely find people you want to see/meet IRL https://t.co/UzkqGdvOjn
A2) I typically will look for a few presenter friends first and then go for topic. Location matters too since is spread out
Hoping to find thinking that stretches capacity and disrupts my current reality.
A2b: Plus a lot of “big names” are saying the same thing for 10+ years. Can’t tell you how many times I have heard the same pres.
A2- I have not looked at the shed yet- trying to make sure my sessions are ready first.
It's the only session worth possibly missing live :)
A2 Look for areas of interest and where I'm most wanting to learn to decide sessions from outside presenters I want to see again
Can definitely count on Craig to share amazing ideas & resources.
So true. And don’t be afraid to use your feet and walk out of a session that isn’t doing it for you
Shameless self promotion. I am in.

Great teachers=great conferences
Agree- a few slots are that way for me too!
Yes! Make the PD experience personal. Use the rule of 2 feet from edcamp.
Either way, everyone must know it is an attendee duty to get up and leave a session and not worry about offending.
I love the conversations over food!

I find hallway convos/connecting so much more useful than learning another tool in a session.
Last year our group did daily challenges
-----------------> Q5 is up next. Look for tweet!
A4 Thankfully, the orgs I support tend not to provide tech to workers/learners beyond (maybe) a Blackberry. So the strategy’s it.

--------------------> will be sending out Q7 soon.
What age/grade/subject if your Breakout for?
Good idea! All the selfies too
A6: playing it by ear. I get really fired up for the energy of an uncoference session. Depends on how the day goes.

A7: Bring your chargers!!! And a portable charger if you have one.
Send me a good pic, and I’ll print it ;)
Yes - even skip a session and just look for people to talk to!
I will be right behind you
Hey , did you get a chance to explore any of the mindfulness meditation resources I shared about a month ago?
it's the Rescue Gary, SpongeBob's pet one I created. 5th gr focus on decimals
A7 Plan out your sessions. Make sure you give yourself permission to not attend every session. Select sessions you can use on Mon
Oh no...will be OK with that one?
Hahah that would be so funny. Along with the unicorn gave me
A7) Meet as many of your PLN friends as possible early and often the entire CUE.
I definitely want to go to the meet up
And already have the F2F bookmarked on my Sched!! 😉
A7 Get to sessions you really want early so you get a seat, bring chargers, talk to people
Wait, the unicorn is a real thing?
A7: Take a break to process. Don’t worry about “getting it all” Find ONE thing you will use 1st day back at school.
A7: Take one session off to connect/engage in discussions - connections make the conference, not a packed schedule
A7) Wear comfortable shoes. Pack a lunch. Bring water. Don't forget to wear green on Thursday.
A7 Conference overload is a real thing! You can't implement everything when you return! Baby steps!
I'm running two sessions and a STEAMpunk playground at . You'll all be there, of course.
A7 External power pack like Mophie is a life saver. Bring a water bottle and power bars to keep up ur energyM
A7: drink A LOT OF WATER, get to sessions early & sit near the outlets, live tweeting is a good way to take notes, drink water
A7: Make sure you bring snacks (and maybe lunch if you don't want to wait). Also, bring a water bottle. There's free water
I'll keep an eye out for it on FB!
O my I am watching a little girl hypnotize a frog chicken bunny lizard and dog in Chinese CRAZY
Yes, very real. Chupcabras will be there too this year.
Truth! Don't try to attend all the sessions. It just doesn't happen.
https://t.co/wX5YOyQkzD
A7 Conference overload is a real thing! You can't implement everything when you return! Baby steps!
A7 Like others have said, schedule in down time. Don't go to every session. Take time to process and gather yourself.
This is all good advice. Keep it coming.
A7 If you don't make a session b/c of a covo it's ok and can be more productive. Take time to process the firehouse.
A7 Find out what the popular after-hours eateries (breweries?) are n go. Join conversations whenever you can.
A7 Don't freak out re: wifi. Put devices away if poss. Make eye contact,listen, write by hand if you take notes.
Truth. Will be traveling with many from our district this year
https://t.co/3OFsvkMpdz
A5 Getting to know my colleagues better outside of work! Networking with other people!
Conferences need therapy dogs and relaxation rooms
I'll def drop it there when finished. I have no problem sharing it sooner via voxer or notes
A7: Wear comfy shoes, bring snacks with you - pricey at the conference.
People are surprised that I am introvert after seeing me present. It is a thing. For real.
I did this at , and loved actually talking to people, not playing on comp
carpool conversations are great for this. Processing goes well with chats.
agred about making baby steps after cnfrnces. Make this your mantra at : "A goal without a plan is just a wish"
If you want us to beta test it let me know...I can find some 5th grade classes to try it out
A7: Takes lots of notes. You think you will remember all this great stuff, but your head might explode!
Me too! I’m getting better
A7 For the types.. set alarms on your mobile device to remind you to get up and move around
Joining the party late. So excited for
Me too. I get freaked out meeting so many people that are like kinfolk, it's all good though.
