Q1: How do you intentionally prepare for conferences, such as #ISTE18, to ensure you maximize your opportunities for professional growth? #CollaborativePD
Hi, I'm Suzanne from Kansas. I haven't been to ISTE since it was NECC, so this will be a treat. I got to present with @AmandaBuethe and say hey to @torreytrust#collaborativepd
A1 by not preparing for presentations because I am a wing it person. Making sure my suitcase is only half full for swag. Work on my best dance moves #CollaborativePD

A1: I review and re-review the program to "curate" the most beneficial schedule that will meet my needs. Oh, and then I add the @participate party to the schedule! #CollaborativePD
Wish I was going to #ISTE18, Kimm! Unfortunately, I am not able to attend unless I win the lottery tonight! Thanks for the shoutout, my #EduHero! #CollaborativePD#notatiste

I like to review the agenda, mark down my sessions, take some personal time for sightseeing, and reach out to friends that are going while also trying to line up a few people from my #PLN that I have never met before. #CollaborativePD

A1 - My first @iste was last year and here is what I learned:
Have snacks, gum and water in your bag
Wear a backpack or a rolly bag
Wear comfy shoes
Be ok with taking a break
Learn where the bathrooms are
Download the Uber App
Plan your evenings
#collaborativepd#iste18
A1. Review the schedule, try to go outside of my comfort zone, and follow soc. media closely. Don’t want to miss any lively events. #CollaborativePD#ISTE18

Getting out of our comfort zones is so important to personal growth! How can we learn and grow without the willingness to try something new?! #CollaborativePD

A1: I put in my “have-tos” (sessions I’m facilitating) then my “want-tos” (sessions that look really good) all in a Google Calendar. And then I just spend my time wandering around the Expo Hall, Playgrounds, and Posters 😂 #CollaborativePD
A2 #CollaborativePD Conferences are all about the hallways. Shared hashtags, sponsored meetups are good ways to connect with others. Share on @Twitter to create a larger group. #ISTE18
A2 - I made my "business cards" today and it was waaaaay out of my comfortable zone but I have a little spot that says "we connected..." and I plan to write where or how we met before I hand them over... we will see how that goes over! #collaborativepd

A1: For me, going to conferences, particularly #ISTE2018 is about the people and the learning experiences we create together. So many special relationships developed there, and look forward to seeing old friends like @julener@mr_isaacs, @audreyoclair and more! #CollaborativePD
A2: I have been chatting with some PLN on social media, will def hit some social events, and then the big reflection time for many days after. #CollaborativePD#ISTE18

#collaborativePD A2 #Realities360 is next week in San Jose, CA.. I connect with presenters whose sessions I’ll participate in. I asked for permission to stream to my #arvrinedu#PLN.
A2 we usually use @googledrive and create a doc where we all add info as the conference goes. Once the conference is done, we reflect on our writing and decide the most important aspects to keep in mind #CollaborativePD
Q1: How do you intentionally prepare for conferences, such as #ISTE18, to ensure you maximize your opportunities for professional growth? #CollaborativePD
A3: Take lots of photos. I saw a great idea this week where someone takes notes on Google Slides, then adds pics to document their whole conference. Might try that. #CollaborativePD#ISTE18
A2: I prefer video follow-up conversations before and/or after meeting in person. In those settings, there is enough eye contact and body language displayed that will help you understand better how collaborations can transpire. #CollaborativePD
#collaborativePD A1 I draft speaking proposals to PD like #Realities360 and #DevLearn. That’s really where it begins. This year one got selected for the former but not the latter. I tweet to the hashtag stuff that resonates others might find useful.
A3 - I use Google Keep. I use the notes annnnd the voice dictation function. It is uber useful. Cause I can also easily drop pictures in my notes. I try and be specific about what I put in.. only what makes me go WOW! #iste18#collaborativepd
A2: Before: Voxer & Google Hangout chats, and other social media. @edu_match is a great way to connect! During: Business cards, selfies or pics of badges, a quick Twitter add. After: Voxer & Google Hangout chats, and other social media. #CollaborativePD
At every conference, unconference, or education event where you have a nametag--Just make it your twitter handle. It saves time during introductions & establishes long-term connections to keep the relationships, learning, and growing going after the F2F experience. #EdcampWake
My team and I have a Team Drive with resources from each session we attend. We host links, notes and ideas in a Google doc or sheet to share with one another. #CollaborativePD

A3: My smartphone will live in Twitter and Office Lens as I scan and tweet presentation screens, vendor sheets (no, I don't want a paper copy, thanks anyway) and poster sessions #CollaborativePD
#collaborativePD A3a I mentioned I draft proposals for conferences the @eLearningGuild produces.. they’re based on what I learn applying what I learn at other events like #CUE & #EdCamps or from my #PLN.. +
I like to make a point of using 2 new ideas from a conference. I make sure I do something with them in the first week after the conference. This helps me not forget it! #collaborativepd
Anyone heading to #ISTE18 I would love to connect during some of my sessions. At the ICE Showcase which is right next to the Keynote Hall we have epic hands-on sessions like a life-sized Candyland, Abe Lincoln, And the Real 4Cs of the Classroom! #collaborativepd Let's connect!
I have also started adding to my digital tote. If I know I can't attend but would like to, I am at least grabbing notes from digital tote. #ISTE18#CollaborativePD
A3: shared #googledoc#bunceeboard or #OneNote to gather all resources during the conference and then sharing sessions with departments or all faculty during the year with follow ups for people who need more #CollaborativePD
A3 I record notes in Voxer, blog about, talk with PLN, read Twitter, check out the conference website and resources, including recordings #CollaborativePD

A3: In 2004 I started a blog while attending NECC. I've neglected it lately. Guess I should return to writing. #collaborativepd Here's my first naive post https://t.co/PalAIJjkbO
Q4: Let’s do an #ISTE18 3x3! What are your:
Top three must-see PLN members?
Top three must-attend sessions?
Top three companies or events?

A3: This indeed is the critical question to ask/discuss as a group. It's no secret that we all learn an immense amount while together at conferences. (Biggest self serving question in the history of earth) How can we collaborate continuously in the days between? #CollaborativePD
A3 usually @nathan_stevens is a top see because he will say anything on stage.
Most people are must see.
I am too famous to attend sessions. #jk#collaborativePD

A3: Hope people will share with the #NotatISTE18 community on Google + - such a GREAT community. Love the #ISTE18 sharing that happens there! Plus, prizes and freebies. Who doesn’t love that! #CollaborativePD
Packing for #iste18... really I am! It does look like s children’s party or some crazy bachelorette weekend but trust me it is for ISTE. And thank gawd it is ok Chicago... last year airport security did not find me funny.
@msofficelens is great to store your materials #CollaborativePD#ISTE18. I can not join this conference but used Lens to keep file on 3rd VietTESOL 2017.

@JenWilliamsEdu, @bigtechcoach, @msofficelens
Since it has been 12 years since my last ISTE, I'm really looking forward to seeing how it has changed, grown, and adapted. And the vendors - what's new that I haven't seen. Twitter was barely a thing then, now I have a great PLN to be on the look out for! #collaborativepd
A1: I prepare by looking at the schedule and choosing my top 2 sessions for each time slot. I try to make it to the first but go with choice 2 if anything happens. #collaborativepd
And over time, perhaps, we will be presented with more collaborative opportunities that emerge within these spaces. Look forward to continuing this conversation in Chicago! #CollaborativePD
It's going to be a really special time. We have already learned so much together. The vibe and gatherings in Chicago will be really fun to experience with you. Safe travels in... #CollaborativePD
Very cool afternoon working with teachers in #MinecraftEdu, set a pixel art activity...create a symbol showing what teaching means to you...#CollaborativePD#utbPD love it!
