Count down to ISTE2016 - Top 10

Here's my Top 10 Can't Wait for ISTE a.k.a. I'm super excited about....

10- Arriving and staying with family in Denver for the day on Saturday

9- Meeting a new friend and roommate Lisa
This will be my third ISTE to stay with someone I do not know. I've met some wonderful women!

8- Adding another bunny picture

7- Volunteering with the TEN Playground themed Focused Professional Development in your PLN. I will be there from 11-12 at station 4.

6- Volunteering on the BreakoutEDU Bus! 
Even just being on the bus...near the bus...in the same state as the bus. 

5- Expo hall 
Which might result in more than will fit in my carry on baggage...but never fear, I take an extra "in case" bag.

4- CoffeeEdu and CoffeeGBL and anything else with coffee
This will take me out of my comfort zone to meet up with a big group or people that I do not know...my introverted self will be rebelling. 

3- BYOD sessions, not to mention the other 1,000ish session choices
Watch for Tweets from @mrscarolnelson or #iste2016 and posts here on the blog for all the session goodness! You can see the whole ISTE program here.

1-Presenting at ISTE for the first time!

Launching

Why are the letters "L" and "M" on it? What if I were to tell you that only graduates receive them? That the letters stand for "Launch Me". And that circle on the side, is so that it can be worn with pride.  But no, it has nothing to do with NASA! However, everything to do with a launch. Intrigued? So was I!

A Yellow-shirted Girl's Announcement

If you are like my husband you might like making a " demotivator ". Teachers could use this site to create a poster without the title or description and have the students come up with them! Or teachers could fill in the title and description and have the students find a fitting picture. These two options would provide a way to use the site without students being on the computer!  2. Superlame ( www.superlame.com ) This is a very easy to use site that again uses your pictures. No logon required and free to use!
