NECC
I’ll be leaving for NECC in DC on Friday. I am so excited to be attending my second NECC conference. My daughter is a little worried about me. I’m doing what I tell her not to do. I’m meeting people and actually rooming with people that I have met on line but never in real life. She’s 16 and sometimes I’m not sure if she is really worried or just giving me a hard time!
As I prepare to leave I’m trying to focus in on a few goals for the conference.
Here’s what I have so far:
I really like Google-reader, calendar, documents, mail. But I want to know more before i start to entice my coworkers about their benefits.
We’re finally getting SmartBoards in our school next year as well as document cameras and flip video cameras. I want to attend sessions on how elementary classes are implementing this tools, particulary the Flips.
I just bought an ipod Touch and we’re going to get a few ipods for our school next year. So, I also want to find ways these are being used in the elemetary school.
As a lab teacher I’m always looking for meaningful, engaging lessons for my students.
Last year one of my goals was to work on being a more outgoing person. I tend to be very quiet when I’m around people I don’t know. I did pretty good last year and I have the same goal this year. I’m really looking forward to meeting people in my PLN face to face.
If you’re going to NECC what are your goals?

I’ll be at NECC so hope we catch up. My goals are to take this opportunity to meet people who I’ve networked with online f2f. This will probably be my one and only visit to NECC due to costs involved in attending so this may be the only opportunity I get to meet many of the people I network with online.
In terms of conference planning I’m approaching it the same way I approach all other conferences. I have absolutely no plan and hopefully others will organise me so I know what I’m doing.
