As I wait for the presentation time to arrive I find myself with the usual nerves and anxious stomach. I am prepared. Fortunately, a presenters room was available and I was able to print out things that I needed. Although I wonder if I'll be able to get those out and use them.. I have a great deal of resources available at my fingertips. I even brought candy. I checked the room in advance and discovered many large round tables. The presentation room was full for the session I observed. Every seat was filled including extras. The doors to the room were closed because the session was full... Hopefully, my session will be just as full. However, I wonder, will the people at the table be able to hear me?
Earlier today, I observed the Google sessions with lines down the hall. Not everyone would be getting into the session they wanted. Do you think this is a sign? Google is a leader in classroom resources. I was surprised to look at their schedule and not find a session on Google Sites. I am interested in why. And I am glad that is one of my preferred workshop topics. Seems to me that all of the Google Apps are popular sessions these days.
I took a quick glance into the Exhibitor's Hall. Whew! It is huge! I think I'll need a strategy when I return. I wonder what treasures I will find there? Usually, the most useful tools and resources I have found come from other teachers and presenters. Connections and collaboration with discussion and a chance to explore it provide the best rewards.
OK. Well, with a half hour to go before my time. I think I'll settle down and then settle in to my space.
