ISTE 2012: Going to be Great!

Looking forward to <a class="zem_slink" href="http://center.uoregon.edu/ISTE/2010/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="ISTE 2010">ISTE</a> 2012. Here are the sessions where I'm presenting, there are a few spots open in some of them, so if you're coming, go ahead and register as usually they are full. They put us in larger rooms so some of them have more spots than usual and also, one session (bookmarks) will be in remote iste.<br /><br />I'll be in the Edublogger lounge to try to see people I don't get to see.<br /><br />If you're there, the one thing I ask you is that you come say "hi." I do want to talk to you. I do want to meet people who read this blog and tweet and comment with me. I might look tired or excitedly talking to someone I haven't seen in a long time but the day I don't have time to make new friends is the day I'll quit blogging. I want to help you and meet you. <i>(One tip I'll give - if you want me to do something for you - write it on the back of your business card so I'll remember - I'm weak on auditory anyway.)</i><br /><br />Due to a family wedding, I'll have to leave early on Wednesday but am heading in early to see some of San Diego.<br /><br />See you at ISTE!<br /><br /><h2> Saturday June 23</h2>SocialEdCon<br />Will be presenting a keynoter smackdown for 4 minutes for ISTE at 10:25 am.<br /><br /><h2> Sunday June 24</h2><div>Global Education Summit - Room 5</div><div><br /></div><a href="http://www.isteconference.org/2012/program/search_results_details.php?sessionid=70109720" style="background-color: white; color: #0060a9; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 16px; text-align: -webkit-left;">Flat Classroom Projects--Transform Learning through Global Collaboration</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #3c2415; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-align: -webkit-left;"> [Learning Station Session; Global Collaboration Project] </span><br /><i style="background-color: white; color: #3c2415; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-align: -webkit-left;">Location:</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #3c2415; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-align: -webkit-left;"> SDCC Halls DE Lobby, Table 39</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3c2415; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; text-align: -webkit-left;">Who should come by: If you're interested in global collaboration in your classroom (or want your book signed) this will be a great time to come by and see me.

While we share some about the flat classroom framework, this is for anyone who connects and collaborates globally - if you want to connect around platform or grade level that is fine too. This is open for everyone collaborating globally and our goal is to help you start your own projects (with some guidance.)<br /><br /><br />*After the Birds of a Feather, we usually all go out dutch at Dinner. If you want to join in the Flat Classroom fun, come to the birds of a feather and message @julielindsay or @coolcatteacher before then. </td><td align="right" width="30"></td></tr><tr align="left" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" valign="top"><td colspan="3"><strong>Tuesday, June 26</strong></td></tr><tr align="left" valign="top"><td class="planner_time" width="125"><br /></td><td></td><td align="right" width="30"><a border="0" href="http://www.isteconference.org/2012/planner/planner_removeitem.php?planneritem=76724687" style="color: #0060a9; font-weight: bold;"><img align="right" alt="remove" border="0" hspace="1" src="http://www.isteconference.org/2012/planner/images/trash.png" vspace="1" /></a> </td></tr><tr align="left" valign="top"><td class="planner_time" width="125">10:00-11:00am<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />10:00- 12:00 pm<br /><div class="indented"></div></td><td style="border-top-color: black; border-top-style: dotted; border-top-width: 1px;"><a href="http://www.isteconference.org/2012/planner/planner_useritem.php?plannerdtlid=76724571" style="color: #0060a9; font-weight: bold;">Book Signing with Vicki Davis and Julie Lindsay</a> [Personal Appointment; ]<br /><i>Location:</i> Exhibit Hall -- Booth 3513 (Note: Julie will be signing again on Wednesday.)<br /><i>Description:</i> Pearson Booth in Exhibit Hall<br />We will be signing inserts to put in your book - so even if you don't have the book yet, you can come by - this will be the oNLY time we're signing books together.
