You can see the embedded video here: Engineering Leadership After getting off to a great start with the OER session on Wednesday, I then rushed off to the Engineering Ask-Me-Anything session. This was something I was excited about because there had been an opportunity to submit questions in advance both at the…
You can see the embedded video here: Jared Stein (Adora Svitak's keynote is not available, unfortunately). After reporting on the five sessions I went to on Wednesday, I wanted to also say something about the Wednesday keynotes. I missed the morning one by Adora Svitak (because of the evil wifi gremlins! argh!), but…
Today I want to write about one of those "hallway moments" that people often mention with regard to conferences... although in this case, it was a food tent moment! After the engineering panel, it was time for lunch, so I found myself standing in line at the food tent, and I started a conversation with the person standing…
You can see the embedded video here: Matthew Jennings This whole 30-post approach is working out great: I'm halfway through the posts, and I've also reach the end of the first day of sessions, which is a good halfway point also. So, after Kona and the ladies of Broward County, I went to see our own @mjennings who shared an…

You can see the embedded video here: Kona Jones So, we've reached Wednesday afternoon! And the first Wednesday afternoon session that I went to was... the Canvas Community's own Kona, Coach of Coaches and all-around Canvas Guru. The room was packed, and there was so much interest and so many people who couldn't squeeze…
So far I've written about the first two sessions that I attended on Wednesday, and both of them used live polling: that was really fun! Mollye used Kahoot in her OER session, and the engineers used polls.ninja. There were other live polling tools that people used in other sessions I attended, and I enjoyed it every time.…
After the keynote (notes here) about the past and future of Canvas on Tuesday, there was a reception, and then . . . Game Night! Thanks SO MUCH to Deactivated user for organizing this event; you can read more about it here: Game Night 2018 I ended up losing track of time at the reception and so I showed up late, but Carrie…
I like the idea of keeping an ongoing blog about InstructureCon this year - a digital repository of my thoughts on keynotes, sessions, and the general experience of InstructureCon. Although I am definitely a paper-pen note taker at the moment, having a space to come back and summarize will be helpful. Disclaimer: The…
TL;DR Be bold and think outside the box. Connect with your students on a personal level before pushing them to reach a new level of potential. Session Notes Michael Bonner: The Musical Magician Be the change! Awards day and mr grumpy didn’t get an award. Began de-escalation process. Kid kicked him in shin. Thought about…
