Well, the user conference is over, and what a day 2 I had. It was awesome. I learned so many different pedagogical users I hadn't considered before, I learned how to build questions that suit many differet kinds of learners, and I got see specific presentations that educators are using with their classes, as well as a video of one of those classrooms in action! That was so amazing! To see the students engaged like that not only gave me tons of ideas, but also helped me see the benefits of classroom technologies!

Well, today was the first day of our user conference, and I mean it... WOW! It was so great to meet everyone today. Dr. Mazur's talk gave me so much to work with, and the breakout sessions not only taught me something, but made me walk away with a HUGE smile on my face. I've been training people on TurningPoint for more than 3 years, but some of the ways it's being used out there? WOW! I can't wait to see the notes, etc., from the sessions I missed when they're posted.

I'm so excited for next week's user conference in Las Vegas. As a trainer with Turning Technologies, I often help people with ways to use our systems, so I can't wait to hear/see all the different ways people are using them and to share it all with you!

Happy Friday Everyone! We're in the home stretch to the National User Conference at UNLV. I've been working on this event for several months now and am excited to see everything finally come to fruition. While I know not everyone is able to attend the conference, I wanted to make sure those individuals could still get a taste for what our User Conferences are all about. Throughout the conference, I will be "tweeting"updates and hopefully start discussions about everything that is going on.
Considering hosting or co-hosting a clicker user conference with The Center for Teaching at your institution. The University of Iowa did this last Friday with great success and even opened it up to other Universities and Colleges in our area. Stephanie and Ron from Turning Technologies were on hand all day. Our keynote was Derek Bruff and other faculty from the UI. Check out the details at http://its.uiowa.edu/support/srs. Recordings will be available soon on the website. Hope to see you in Vegas!!!

Well, I'm preparing a few things for our User Conference in Las Vegas in October. I'm so excited, because this year I am attending the conference as an attendee! I get to go to the sessions, meet the users, and gather all kinds of best practices and pedagogical ideas for using our systems. I'm really looking forward to bringing back all kinds of new ideas to share with everyone on my trainings!
