9. OER and TIME
You can see the embedded video here: Mollye Russell And now at last I am getting around to the actual sessions that started on Wednesday (I clearly had too much fun on Tuesday, hence all the posts so far before the sessions even started). The first session I attended was at @geonz's request... and it really was a great…

InstCarn Recap: Day 4 - Unconference
TL;DR If you have never been to an Unconference, change that! Don't miss this great opportunity to keep the #instcon conversation going. Session Notes I must confess that I intended to take notes throughout the Unconference, but as things unfolded I found myself too engaged to take notes. I will do my best to recap my…

8. The Wifi Gremlin
Yes, those are gremlins in the banner image, and today for my #InstCon30 post I am writing about the wifi gremlin. As you might know, I was planning to do live notetaking from the sessions on Wednesday and Thursday; that was the whole drone idea: I was eyes and ears on the ground for remote participants. But that was... a…

7. Meeting Devlin Daley
Before moving on to Wednesday, I realized there is one more InstructureCon encounter from Tuesday that I forgot to mention: I met Devlin Daley, one of the original founders (along with Brian Whitmer) of Instructure, and also the first person to introduce me to Canvas years ago, long before my school went with Canvas. It…

1. Hats Are Good
I had to make my HAT the first of these "month of InstructureCon" posts... because the hat was how most of my random InstCon conversations would start! "Hey, cool hat," somebody would say, or they would ask me if it was swag and where they could get theirs. That was all I needed to launch into my spiel about how I was the…

InstCarn Recap: Day 1 - Reflections
TL;DR Instructure really out did themselves this year, but man those food lines in the conference center. Overall Impressions I love Canvas and the wonderful community that is brought together each year at this conference. Seeing old friends (like @kona , @scottdennis , @rseilham , @kenneth_rogers , @Renee_Carney and even…

Canvas Release Notes History in 31 Seconds
Many of you at InstructureCarn 2018 (and via chat in our live streams) noted how much you liked the Canvas release notes video that Josh Coates shows in his opening keynote. The keynote itself won't be posted for a while (watch for an announcement in the Community when it's available), but for now, you can re-live the past…

4. Inspired by Earl
I'm working through my #InstCon experience more or less chronologically in these posts, and today I am still on Tuesday: after hanging out with Mathieu in the morning by the registration desk, I then ran into @kmeeusen (whom I had met at Project Khaki, yay!), who then introduced me to 925024864, a name I knew from the…

3. I am TPACK
In yesterday's post I mentioned meeting up with 700958421 on the very first day of the conference (Tuesday, before the actual sessions started) and we had a great conversation about all the work he's been doing, including a fantastic course that provides an introduction to teaching that is grounded in empathy and presence:…
