A place to share your conference experience

The NYC Multiplayer Tournament that OIT ran a few weeks ago was the subject of a District Administrator article that had a nice quote shedding light on one of our main functions as instructional technologists.
Fischer's team and other members of the district's division of teaching and learning are responsible for looking at innovative educational solutions to share with instructional coordinators.
One of the best ways to find innovative educational solutions is to visit edtech conferences around the country ... and we're lucky enough to be able to do that!

Many would say there is no single greater influence in our understanding of how technology can transform instruction than conferences. SO, let's share our experiences. This blog is a reflection blog designed to help us share our thoughts and impressions of the different conferences we attend with each other.

If you're into reading blogs, you'll note that one of the recurring themes is conference coverage. Whether it's a reflection on a keynote, a summary of a workshop, a review of a product, an interview, or a journal of your experience, your blog entry can help your colleagues share what you found at a conference.
