Global STEMx Education Conference Watch it Today or Tomorrow

If you didn't get a chance to check out the free massive online Global STEMx Education Conference, it's not too late. The sessions were archived so peruse the lineup, here, and enjoy the recorded sessions that appeal to you most. The three co-chairs: Steve Hargadon, @SteveHargadon, Lucy Gray, @elemenous, and Jim Vanides, @jgvanides, did a phenomenal job preparing and delivering a fantastic global learning event. With stellar sponsors like HP and ISTE it's no wonder that this was a high class global reaching event. 

I had the pleasure of moderating two sessions. One for Lindsey Tropf, @Ltropf, and the other for Derek Barkalow, @derekbarkalow. Both are amazing educators that I truly enjoyed getting to a know and listening to. Please check their sessions out when you get a chance. Here is a link to the Keynotes and Sessions. Super easy to find because the presenters are listed in alphabetical order.

Moderating was really easy for both sessions for a couple of reasons. The first was the presenters were awesome. Also, there wasn't a lot of back channel discussions. The tool that was used to record the sessions was Blackboard Collaborate. That is amazing software that is very intuitive. For my purposes at school, I will probably stick with the free Google Hangouts (however the limited seating to 10 or 15 in a session is a slight drawback) and Camtasia to record events/screens. So, all-in-all, I was nervous but didn't need to be. Yes, I had some embarrassing typos. My red face fortuantley was not on camera. Moments like that do have a silver lining though in that they really ground me, and remind me, to be patient and give myself and others a break too. Cheers!
