SLS 2011

The SLS Fall Conference was on November 9th at the Double Tree Hotel in Syracuse, NY.  We were invited to present for the second year - thank you Patty!  Once again, we enjoyed sharing our passion for instruction and technology with the LMS crew from the area.

First, as promised, we want to make mention of...

• Justin and Laurie - thanks for the last minute equipment fixes. We appreciate your help. Even techies run into issues at times!
• Thanks for providing so many great segues Tina!  One might think you were a plant...
• Marcie - good luck with your ePort.  We are thrilled you walked away with ideas you can use (hope all of you did)!
• Thanks for opening the discussion about public reflection Sue.  It is a topic that inevitably comes up.  Many of our folks seem uncomfortable with the idea of sharing their reflections in a public forum.  We have added the image and quote above as a continuation of our  response to this conversation. 

Now onto our reflections...
First let us say we learned something too today!  We did not realize that the resolution setting on your computer could change the way a website displays when connected to a projector. Thank goodness Justin was there to give us the heads up - now we know.  Though we probably could have figured it out on our own when not in front of a group of professional techies, it was a great relief to have a quick and easy fix.

What about those goals we had for today?
We completed the presentation with no major glitches.  It seemed to go well.  The polls suggest that you were engaged, and you do understand the difference between a website and an ePortfolio.  Only time will tell if you apply what you learned!  We hope you will share a link with us if you do!  We look forward to feedback to this post and conference feedback. The conference has come to a close, but we hope you won't be strangers:  nextgennow@nextgennowpd.com

What ideas and/or feedback do you have for us?  Do tell!  Add a comment to this post or email us directly.  Hopefully we will see you all again next year- if not before!!
