STEMxCon - Free Online Global Conference September 19-21, 2013

As an engineer and educator, I hope more students get inspired to pursue technology careers, like my 8th grade daughter. Not sure how that will work out but I am as supportive as possible. I have had phenomenal experiences from my career, flying all over the world and working on projects that were unbelievably challenging, and wish that for everyone to be continually inspired and to be a life-long learner. Join us for STEMxCon, one or more sessions, whatever your interests and time allow. If you can't make a session, no worries. Recorded sessions will be available. 

I'm volunteering for this first-time ever massive online education conference, moderating sessions using the Blackboard Collaborate application. I've participated in sessions that have used Blackboard but now I get to be on the other side and learn more of how it all works. Super easy and intuitive! You can get involved in the conference by volunteering to moderate sessions too. It's a fun way to get to know other educators and to develop your personal learning network.


This should be very interesting. At ISTE 2013 online, I had some brillant moderators that were amazingly effective and some not so much. I hope to be one of the best moderators...I'll report back on that. If you end up participating or watching one of the sessions I moderate please leave me a comment and let me know how it went. I love feedback. Cheers!
