Conference+Welcome

Welcome to the Conference 2010-2011 wiki
The purpose of this Wiki is to share the highlights of conference sessions that you attended. By posting information and reflections, all participants in the MSPP STEM grant will benefit from each others' experiences at each conference. We encourage you to take the opportunity to learn from your colleagues who have shared some of the great ideas from sessions and/or conferences that they attended.

All of the conferences offer sessions that relate to what we're trying to accomplish this year- PBL, Web 2.0 tools, GIS, GPS, 21st century skills, etc. Although you may include additional information, please be sure that your post focuses on topics relevant to the STEM unit, such as those listed above. Since we want to learn as much as possible from each other, please refrain from posting about a session on which someone else has already reflected, so post early!

As a way to help you meet your professioanal development hours, you may receive up to three professional development hours for sharing your experiences at conferences (1.5 hours for each session posts, maximum three hours). In order to qualify for receiving credit for those hours you must post a reflection that addresses the criteria specified on the page that corresponds to the conference you attended. You are also expected to read through your colleagues' posts. The directions and criteria for the posts are on the individual conference pages. Once your reflection is complete your instructional coach will review it and record it on your professional development log.
