Summer Conference Day 2: Taking Notes

From: chicgalleria.com

I was a presenter in a round table discussion on the second day of our summer conference.  I was worried that I wouldn't be able to talk intelligently for 15 minutes, but it turns out that I was pressed for time and didn't even get all my information disseminated in the allotted time.

The one thing that really struck me was the other teachers sitting at my table.  I soon as I started talking, people began taking notes (even though I told them I had supporting files available to download).  It was highly flattering that my colleagues felt what I said was important enough to write down--my family thinks my intelligence is one level below Homer Simpson.

Summer Conference Day 1: Whew!

I got to kick off our summer conference by leading a four hour workshop on the new SEM I curriculum.  I was nervous about the session would go well...turns out I shouldn't have been.  My group was wonderful and we got a lot of work done.

I spent about a month working on the Sliderocket above.  It was a useful tool for the workshop, especially since I don't have PowerPoint on my personal computer.  The only drawback--the convention center's wireless connection was so slow that the YouTube videos I embedded would barely play.  That was a bummer, but if it's the worst thing that happens, then so be it.
