The end of June is quickly approaching, and most of us are headed off to San Antonio for NECC 2008! Have you planned your days yet . . . selected your sessions . . . printed your planner? Planner, you ask? Why yes – there is a wonderful online conference planner available to you that will help you make the best use of your time. Check it out here, print it before you go, and you won’t have to worry about trying to find what you need as you walk down the corridors of the Henry Gonzalez Convention Center. You also won’t have to figure out what conflicts with what – they have it all sorted out. Great tool – take advantage!
As you plan, please keep these things in mind: Our focus is on finding ways to demonstrate the effective use of the NETS-S in the classroom, and to find resources and resource people to bring back to share with our district. This blog has a page for each of the NETS-S standards. You will find a brief summary of that standard, so that you can choose the appropriate one on which to leave your comments.
What a great place to share what we see with each other and with the other ITS in our district and around the world! Please make plans to post comments about the sessions you attend under the related NETS-S standard - what was it about? What did you think? How can we adapt the ideas to best serve IISD? What might make it even better? Then – read what others are learning and add to the discussion. We need to be thinking as critically as we expect our students to!
With free wi-fi in the convention center, it will be easier than ever to share right from the room. I plan on taking advantage of that, and hope you will as well. Can’t wait to see you there, and even if I never have you in my sight, I’ll see you on the blog!
