ED4ALL Conference

What is better than spending your saturday morning at the ED4ALL conference?! NOTHING! Today I spent my morning at the mount for the ED4ALL conference put on by KDP. Being honest, I was dreading it. I was not looking forward to sitting for 6 hours at a conference, but I am so glad I did because it had an awesome turn out and I enjoyed it very much. When you first arrived you had the opportunity to get some breakfast and coffee and find your seat. Then we all played a getting to know you BINGO which was really fun and engaging. Then the conference started out with a key note speaker who did an awesome job talking to us about technology. I learned so much through this key note speaker and she was very informative. Then we took a little break and  moved split up into the sessions we signed up for. I got there late, so I was placed in a double session learning about thinglink. At first, I was a little disappointed I was put into a double sessions, as I was dreading how slow the time would go by. But now as I am reflecting, I am so glad I was placed into this group. What an incredible experience it was. Words cannot explain how much I was impressed by what we were introduced to, and ways we can implement thing link into the classroom to make lessons interactive and engaging for the students. We learned about a 3D lesson using thing link. You are able to choose any picture and explore it on a laptop or phone, and make a full lesson out of it including pre-assessments, facts, vocabulary, assessments, etc. This was an incredible experience that I highly recommend to anyone, and I am so glad I went and experienced all of these wonderful, inspiring key note speakers.
