Looking Forward to TCEA

 


I am looking forward to TCEA this year.  Pam & I are presenting again, but this time we are on day 1 of the conference.  We are armed with vinyl stickers, candy, and a solid presentation if I do say so myself. So I am waking up early on Saturday to make sure I get to Austin in time.  I'm not going to lie; I was hoping to sleep in.  It's been a long couple of weeks.

As I am looking over the program, I see a lot of AI sessions, Canva, Canvas and Google stuff too.  I spotted my favorite presenter, Leslie Fischer.  She always has great sessions. Shannon Miller has a few sessions too.  I was hoping for some Beanstack sessions since I just bought it this semester; I didn't see any.  However, I was invited to a Beanstack breakfast.  So hopefully there will be a presentation as well. I also have their booth selected. I'm sure they will have some demonstrations there.

Of course I have selected way too many sessions, and some of them are concurrent.  Can't be in two sessions at the same time unless your are Hermione with the time turner necklace!  I have 13 sessions highlighted for Monday alone.  My brain will be dead for sure!  I am so glad I am staying at the conference hotel.  My brain goes to mush so quickly at these conferences, and I am going to need some down time. It's definitely an information overload problem, but there is always such good stuff to learn here.  Hopefully I will go back to school with new information and fun things to do in the library.  Because isn't that what it is all about?
