I have safely arrived in beautiful Orlando, Florida home of this years annual ASCD Leadership Conference. As both a first time attendee and presenter, I am so excited about the learning that will happen in these three short days.
Just in case, you were not able to be here in person, you are welcome to join in on the conversation and learn with me (and the thousands of attendees) virtually!
There are lots of ways to join in:
- ASCD will be livestreaming all three keynote sessions- This is very exciting, and a first time service at the conference.
- Several Edubloggers and EduTweeters will be live blogging and tweeting the sessions and events. You can follow our conversations on Twitter using the hashtag #ASCD or #ASCD09. Many will extend the conversations to their blogs…just follow the links!
- The conference sessions are available on both CD and itunes. You can order your favorite individual sessions or the whole conference in case you do not want to miss a word.
- Also make sure you check out ASCD's very own blog for the latest and greatest conference highlights!
As I browsed through the inch thick conference booklet, I was amazed at how universal the themes of the conversation were. Take a peek at this special ASCD Wordle, and tell me what you see as most important! Are you excited to begin the conversation?
