I&#8217;m meeting so many great educators &#8212; lots of whom I have been following on twitter and their blogs for a while. I&#8217;ll have to post a list of links to my new rock star friends at the end of the conference. For now, I&#8217;m just throwing stuff up here to help myself keep track of what I&#8217;m doing. The real reflecting won&#8217;t happen until I get home. For now, I&#8217;m just trying to take it all in.<\/p>\n<p>Today I tried not to overextend myself and learn how to deal with a conference of this size. This morning, I attended Will Richardson&#8217;s session on &#8220;Changing the Climate: How Teaching Social Networks Might Save the World.&#8221; It was awesome and right up my alley. I can&#8217;t wait to get home and have a chance to really digest everything he talked about. Here are my tweets from that session:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re not going to solve the environmental problem until we solve the education problem.&#8221; @<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/willrich45\">willrich45<\/a> <a title=\"#ISTE10\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%23ISTE10\">#ISTE10<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We need to model to our students how we use online social interaction for learning @<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/willrich45\">willrich45<\/a> <a title=\"#ISTE10\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%23ISTE10\">#ISTE10<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next, I visited the exhibitor&#8217;s hall and nearly had a panic attack. Talk about sensory overload. I didn&#8217;t last for too terribly long, and I&#8217;m not sure if I can force myself back in there. My coworker is always a winner, though, so maybe I need to give it a shot.<\/p>\n<p>The other session I attended was a BYOL (bring your own laptop) and it was GREAT! It was called &#8220;Learning in the 76542.0: An Abundance of Web 2.0 Apps&#8221; by Helen Mowers and Anne Adam. It plowed through a list of uh-mazing free resources. It was very fast paced, so afterwards I gave myself some time to digest and create a Glogster on what I&#8217;d learned. Check it out, it&#8217;s pretty awesome if I do say so myself &#8212;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Glogster\" href=\"http:\/\/librariantiff.edu.glogster.com\/web20apps\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-199\" title=\"glogster\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/glogster.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"799\" height=\"677\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/glogster.jpg 799w, http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/glogster-300x254.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, I hung out at the Blogger&#8217;s Cafe for a bit. I tried to hit up the &#8220;21 Things about 21 Things&#8221; session, but it was full. So I went back to the BC for a bit. This evening, I went to a SIGMS Birds of a Feather, a YEN (Young Educators Network) meet-up, and had dinner with the people from my school &amp; district. See why I&#8217;m exhausted?! And I get to wake up and do it again in the morning. I wouldn&#8217;t have it any other way! This is truly a life-changing experience, I believe. And I&#8217;m not being dramatic because I&#8217;m typing with my eyes closed half asleep.<\/p>\n<p>SIGMS Learning Tools Smackdown in the AM. Followed by a whole bunch of other ISTE goodness.<\/p>\n<p>Peace out. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s 9:18 in Denver and I&#8217;m BEAT!
