Notes from Millie D

One week to go until ACTEM’s 2007 MAINEd Conference.  I need to prioritize because lately I’ve fallen behind on my preparations due to NWEA training, school consolidation, Red Sox, Patriots, and life in general.  Let’s not even talk about the K12 Online Conference coming up with David Warlick’s keynote on Monday.  Thank goodness I have a 3 day weekend. 

Here is my schedule:

Thursday’s Pre-Conference:  Acting as an extra set of hands for CoolCatTeacher’s session on wikis.
                                       Conference Banquet

Friday:    Keynote Address
             Session I:  Presenting my Screencast session
             Session II:  Undecided   Anyone have any good ideas, I was thinking about Will’s session.
             Lunch:  Hanging out with the Seedlings crew for a Tools of the Day Session
             Session III:  Undecided
             Session IV:  Presenting my Google Earth session

What are others thinking going into the final week?

I thought this tidbit would be interesting to explore with professional development around technology integration…

Next time you’re trying to make a convincing argument, close a sale, win a debate or simply get someone else to do something you want them to, check out blogger Scott H. Young’s four insights into what makes people tick. While these are pretty oversimplified to explain all human behavior, they’re all still true in some respect:

Rule One: People Mostly Care About Themselves
Rule Two: People are Motivated by Selfish Altruism
Rule Three: People Don’t Think Much
Rule Four: Conformity is the Norm
