When I read about all the great conferences people tend throughout the year, it's FOMO. The hashtag has eased this fear, though.

I'm with you. conferences are so hit or miss. You never know if they are useful. I still get jealous.
Good morning - Marifran, hs librarian from NY, ready to after a fab this weekend
I always have trouble Sunday nights! Think we all do--maybe Fear of what we meant to do but didn't over the weekend?
Thanks Brian! They're awesome & I want to show them how awesome the twitterverse is!!
My FOMO is always about that latest tech trend I might miss. Always thinking the kids are several steps ahead with something
As a coach, FOMO would have to be the a-ha moment for Ss and Ts as they are learning. We are super invested in the process
Good morning! LOVE this pic!
As an instructional coach, I miss the classroom sometimes. I learn a thing and wish i could implement it.
To keep smiling and keep shining, use PARCC as an optional fill in for other words. "What the PARCC is going on?!"
I have the FOMO on me, my Ts & Ss using the latest tech, Ss doing latest thing & Ts implementing the latest and greatest strategies.
For sure. When all of your on Twitter are -bound, i experience FOMO! I'll live vicariously through their tweetsπ
I have a peanut butter coffee called unicorn blood. Love the unique coffees out there!
It doesn't !!! Today is 1st. day of 4th Marking Per. And this is how we start ?? Ugh https://t.co/bzz6xUhKFy
Good morning . Stacey from NJ. Starting day 4 of . Not sure how all of this testing adds up to learning.
Good morning!! Happy Monday to all!
Yes, all those conferences surely add to FOMO https://t.co/HjWjKiuT99
When I read about all the great conferences people tend throughout the year, it's FOMO. The hashtag has eased this fear, though.
Sunday and Monday nights for me.
Most definitely. is one of the highlights of the workweek.
I look for ONE profound takeaway from events. After that, it's all bonuses! https://t.co/cW0rsk4l9t
I'm with you. conferences are so hit or miss. You never know if they are useful. I still get jealous.
I feel the same way. I find something awesome and then I have to convince a Teacher to implement it when I wish I could
Instructional Coaches and Administrators should get into classrooms and teach to model for their staffs.
Agree!! Twitter and the hashtag system alleviate a lot of "fear" of missing great conference keynotes! https://t.co/hyTKgYYhOy

Good morning, friends! Melissa in NJ, ready to !
Good morning, Friends! Veronica back from spring break.
done! Thx for making connections for us all Connie
Yes, I'm learning the true art of PATIENCE this past year.
My FOMO occurs with conferences like (due to $$$). Luckily there is a lot of tweeting & sharing happening!
My biggest FOMO is probably tech related. I am not super techy. I'm so thankful for Twitter chats that keep me aware & informed!
Good morning. Shannon from NH here. Happy Monday!
Grrr! My son starts tomorrow...Tell me, how is this standardized? AND...What is the point?
So true! Last year, a colleague and I prepared a presentation for a local conference and 3 people came
FoMO??? It has taken me many years, but I think I have overcome that kind of fear. I try hard to take things as they unfold.
In my current role I fill in a lot. If I ever become an AP ill want to teach a course.
was a blast but was sad 2 miss -sure it was amazing, especially w/ in charge! https://t.co/GJItUxGeHQ
Good morning - Marifran, hs librarian from NY, ready to after a fab this weekend
Good morning friends! Katie from NY, ready to
With you on that one! ...Drives me to always keep looking and learning AND being disciplined to choose tech wisely.
For those who plan conferences, a venue where ALL workshops can be found close to the registration = key
I need help guys - FOMO????
Boy if I had that answer I'd beas rich as ETS !! https://t.co/G87iH9KBQQ
Grrr! My son starts tomorrow...Tell me, how is this standardized? AND...What is the point?
Go back to sleep, you are on vacation!!!
That's wisdom!! And I'm journeying towards that! https://t.co/JNUBeH73Bu
FoMO??? It has taken me many years, but I think I have overcome that kind of fear. I try hard to take things as they unfold.
Happy Monday Judd from Mass here. I'm with you tech trends are my FOMO!
good morning friend - if anyone can do that math, you can
Haven't tried it yet, but given the fact that my sucks, I may be going back to a regular coffee maker!
Yes to this. It would be great to co-teach a class throughout the year as a coach to use as a learning lab
Seems when I present, I spend a proportionate amount of time promoting the event as well.
https://t.co/lJNVaJ75hw
So true! Last year, a colleague and I prepared a presentation for a local conference and 3 people came
it was so great - Rachel infused everything with her boundless energy and we all caught it
I enjoy being in classrooms and working with Ts who are really open to ideas. https://t.co/Re0MYAinxd
Instructional Coaches and Administrators should get into classrooms and teach to model for their staffs.
I've got FOMO right now; can't decide: ALA? ISTE? Both? Neither? I so want to meet many of the people in my PLN.
Shout out to all T parents who often feel that they miss out on relevant conferences & edu stuff b/c of family obligations, etc
When I see other schools doing things that I know would be good for us but we need to build up to. I get FOMO.
Thanks for the vote of confidence! I just wish the kids felt that way!
I would say that I have FOMO for conferences. Going to miss this year thankfully I have my PLN
I too will be this year and there's big FOMO on my part
It was great to see everyone! We had a blast!
Thanks! I've used your page to find Twitter chats, but will explore more!!!
Love that! I'm going to try it. https://t.co/QB6u8DCwIc
To keep smiling and keep shining, use PARCC as an optional fill in for other words. "What the PARCC is going on?!"
FOMO?! Physically maybe, but I follow like 5000 people ... I don't miss out on much thx to my extensive
Good morning! Back from Spring Break today in Georgia
FOMO(now that I know what it means!)I intentionally turn ALL notifications off on my phone. I only allow myself 2 check at set times
Have someone videotape you teaching and then share with your staff.
My FOMO is about missing something important that may help me be a better teacher.
I agree! Hearing about so many educators getting together to learn; it's hard not to have FOMO https://t.co/u7u2mm5ZFF
When I read about all the great conferences people tend throughout the year, it's FOMO. The hashtag has eased this fear, though.
coffee art: another of your many talents?
I always have FOMO when I know there is learning going on that I could be taking part in.
Thank goodness for Twitter! I know what you mean! There's only so much $ one can pay out of pocket!
Isn't it PHARCC ??? https://t.co/kSS5c5OvJE

Interesting topic today!
A lot of can be addressed with mindful and reflective practices.
Please provide question. Lost.
My FOMO: fear of missing something amazing like an interesting chat or conference, any chance to gain information.
I knew it would be with you leading the way Rachel!!
you should see me dance !!!
ISTE, EdCamps and GAFE Summits are my worst FOMO instances, but there are a host of others.
Have a great day everyone!
its a weird pacing thing. not every school is in the same place culturally. A new idea sometimes needs to brew.
FOMO = Fear of missing Out *Just learned! :-)
Another source of FOMO. I REALLY want to attend this year! Maybe I should crowdsource my way in...
Then you can experience JOMO: Joy of Missing Out! :-)
so you're being sent (I hope)? I went on my own last yr; school paid for reg of another big conference
What causes you to have Fear of missing out ( FOMO) in education https://t.co/HAckK20sJ8
Good morning. What is today's question?
FOMO, when you are on twitter and see there is a conference nearby that you didnt know about at all.
As a T, I inherently get an underlying FoMO for my Ss and Q my approach...have I done the right thing (opposite traditional)?
Whenever there is a conference, my makes me feel like I am there, experiencing the sessions ...
A little late this morning, but then was hit w/FOMO and had to get here. So what's the topic? π
https://t.co/QMlT9dNgj9
Nice, Chris!
Being in the present moment is so important.
https://t.co/i4iTm3nooj
FoMO??? It has taken me many years, but I think I have overcome that kind of fear. I try hard to take things as they unfold.
no, training for 1:1 is that week at me school. I need to be here.
I think a growth mindset can help with FoMO...open to new possibilities without needing to be part of everything.
Whoever invented the Keurig is brilliant but also sadistic. So much $ for the convenience of fresh coffee
Take each day as it comes &enjoy what it has to offer. April tough: look/hear about next year, still w today https://t.co/YY1qxzu3T9
FoMO??? It has taken me many years, but I think I have overcome that kind of fear. I try hard to take things as they unfold.
You also need leadership who will foster risk taking ... stir the pot to keep things fresh.
Was thinking that too. Some BOE members in my town want to go 1:1, but I have doubts ab the Ts being ready. & I coach 1:1!
Sometimes feel like can't keep up: Chats, blogs, conf, voxes, etc. But then I remind self I will and then often do. Ok to miss some.
You and me both. I so want to meet up with you all https://t.co/cJHKxcxfnj
Another source of FOMO. I REALLY want to attend this year! Maybe I should crowdsource my way in...
Yes! But-if it's a worthy event I justify going in to overdrive by reminding myself that I'm helping others
When I have to host a PD meeting, I fear before I start, tthings change after the first few minutes
Are we talking Patrick Swayze or Elaine from Seinfeld? :-)
Let me know if you figure out what FOMO means:)
I did ISTE and AASL June and Nov - I need a little break. Going to prioritize this summer
Ok friends. Gtg. See you tomorrow. Have a great Monday!
Also, I hate CCRAP
That's when I really get FOMO ~ missing out on LEARNING!
exactly. its a hard thing to switch a mindset that quickly.
Just wishing my new one worked. We have had a lot of problems. I need to make time to call them.
I do agree that twitter helps fill in when I am unable to attend a conference. I get new ideas from reading tweets right from home.
True, lazy has a cost. I used to grind and brew, but alas...
oh, yes - that's a really busy week even for nat'l events. Lots of overlap means everyone is missing something
Good morning.Was going to pretend that I didn't miss the chat.Can't find my glasses yet but coffee in hand. https://t.co/I7dmHQmB4p
My FOMO is am I losing my edge being out of the classroom?
Yesterday I went to see speak in Baltimore because of FOMO π
Yes. We have so many great Summer of eLearning Conf this summer that I could get the PD fix, but not see everyone.
Ditto. I loose three weeks while I have to "monitor" the network for CCRAP
I actually get crazy mad when I someone says "you aren't even in the classroom anymore."
Don't know how you keep up! https://t.co/wBFUuYAk6I
Sometimes feel like can't keep up: Chats, blogs, conf, voxes, etc. But then I remind self I will and then often do. Ok to miss some.
that's my motivation behind , reminds me something MUST be missed when reflection is happening
ok folks. I gotta run. long day ahead.
I feel a little defensive and kind of wonder to myself, what am I missing?
sounds like we need a separate for
I will say that last summer was a wonderful experience due to the organizers, still very connected to many I "met" there.
Holy cow...I kept thinking out of money...I couldn't quite solve that puzzle:)
Welcome the unknown, find hope in believing in who you are/are becoming, walk with courage into today and tomorrow...avoiding FoMO.
If we didn't miss something, we'd know everything - and there would be no room for networking, learning from each other
Like any FEAR, best to confront it head on, & make rational choices that are consistent with larger goals. https://t.co/NwXAgwdDKO
Reminders like this one tend to squash for me.
There are LOTS of doors out there...and windows, too.
https://t.co/eUKiGhgou7
Prom weekend! Hopefully I can make one soon!
And it's still better than those who aren't even looking
I think we all embrace the java here!
Hey Guys-Today is not only it's also day - let's use both hashtags to celebrate our schools!
Agreed. I believe in sacred time. I don't take the phone with me to church or on family trips to the park
Holding fast to this Chris https://t.co/R2hirDEqfr
Welcome the unknown, find hope in believing in who you are/are becoming, walk with courage into today and tomorrow...avoiding FoMO.
Happy Monday Looking beyond for the many reasons to I start with YOU!!!
I have to in order to be up and functional at this hour everyday!
That's awesome. I still feel a little panicky when I don't know where my phone is =
Have a great week! Don't forget to#CelebrateMonday

Great reminder, thanks Melissa! Lately I've been in a maze trying to find the door that opens! https://t.co/FpnTuXLdiQ

https://t.co/eUKiGhgou7
My biggest FOMO is PD; conferences, blogs & Twitter.
That's the thing...sometimes what we need to do most is simply prepare ourselves for when the door finds us. ;)
Hope all my friends have a most excellent day!! See you tomorrow morning!
Thanks for the awesome 'boost' heading into Monday ! Best wishes to everyone!
My FOMO moment has been with , I'm always on there looking 4 new lesson plans & creating news for my Ss. They love it!
Starting stats w/ my 6th graders; plan to do a gallery walk,use video&infographics,please share resources&suggestions!
Good Morning

chat today: Do you have any edu-related FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out)? In what situations & why do you think this is?
GOOD MORNING PLN...please join me in -> [Special s/o ]
I hate missing out on anything at this point. It's my jam.
"Above Ground"- CHECK.
"Teaching Ss or self" - CHECK
"Kids First" - CHECK
no pause . . .
After years of running a teacher-led room in my younger days, I love learning about, seeing, talking about student-led.
Being in itself is too often un-regarded. https://t.co/6BvgzaR6l5
I think a growth mindset can help with FoMO...open to new possibilities without needing to be part of everything.
I fear that I miss great PD opportunities. Tech has helped ease that but face to face is still #1 for me.
Learned a new acronym this AM: FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). It's a real teacher fear, for sure. Thanks, π
Having FOMO about missing this week. Love reading tweets from but still wish was going! https://t.co/f2OH31cW5A
chat today: Do you have any edu-related FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out)? In what situations & why do you think this is?
I missed out on this morning and that is my number one FOMO at the moment!
me too! It's definitely in my list of things to do next year
I have when it comes to chats. Trying to balance engaging there and engaging in real life.
A: My FOMO in ed is meetings where big decisions are made. π
SketchNotes combat FOMO bc "when going to the ocean, the goal isn't to bring home the entire beach" https://t.co/nSCPq6IuHQ

Afraid I am missing out on amazing PD. Luckily, chats like these and other's blogs/podcasts help to keep me up to speed

Today's topic: Do you have any edu-related FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out)? In what situations & why do you think this is?
I must have FOMO because I'm checking this mornings tweets after sleeping in on vacation!
Happy Monday morning, . 1st reaction to today's Q: The more I'm mindfully flowing in the moment, the fewer FOMO tangents tug at me.
FOMO occurs to me when I don't feel comfortable in a new group and the moment passes before I can gather the courage to speak.
The more connected we become more honest we can be in lessening our FOMO. There is no way to take it ALL in https://t.co/dKEXTsqcog
True. I've felt how proliferating connections to ppl & resources can ease FOMO flare-ups around prof learning.
Collecting favorite quotes to share w/ Ss to start each period - any favorites out there?
FOMO: I can't attend conference X. Solution: I visited hashtag for conference X, grazed tweets & links, then my fear backed off.
I did this with an and learned something new through tweets/hashtag following!
How important is it 4 u 2 shop locally?
Today's chat: Do you have any edu-related FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out)? In what situations & why do you think this is?
Yes! Missing chats or leaving awesome chats early! At the end of the day, there just isn't enough time! And it's OK to miss!
yep, e.g., i know that the chat does this
