Takeaways: #ntcamp

This past Saturday, I attended #ntcamp. This was my fourth unconference, and they just keep getting better. Andy Marcinek did a fabulous job organizing the event. The participants were energized, interesting, and collegial. I also walked away with a ton of new ideas.

Here were my biggest "takeaways" from the day:
  • CIPA legislation really focuses on images, not text.
  • Set up a Google Alert for "smackdown" to collect link collections as ed tech conferences happen around the country.
  • Technology integration requires a backward design. This should be emphasized when working with teachers and students.


Random, huh? I think that just goes to show that unconferences really allow you to tailor your learning to your personal needs. I guarantee that no one else had the same takeaways as I did. Some of the points came from the sessions, others came from random conversations throughout the day. But all in all, I have a lot to learn from the professionals in this area. Thanks for a great day of learning everyone!
