Networking, listening to keynote speakers, learning new information is always great, but I have some mixed impressions about this conference for a variety of reasons that I will highlight below:<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Good:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Three keynote speakers and all three were excellent. Probably the best keynotes I have seen at an ACTE conference.<\/li>\n<li>Technology &#8211; Free WiFi and it was fairly fast, ACTE Mobile App, text messages for Vision2014. This was a significant improvement from the last few years where there was no WiFi or it was $20 per day.<\/li>\n<li>Information &#8211; The information in the sessions I did attend was helpful and I plan to use it in the near future.<\/li>\n<li>Leadership Training (pre-conference) &#8211; I didn&#8217;t know what to expect, but I learned a lot from these two sessions.<\/li>\n<li>My first conference as a state leader. This meant some required events where I got to meet some new people from a variety of other states.<\/li>\n<li>Nevada receiving a QAS award for it&#8217;s association.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The Not as Good:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The conference was in a town that I live in. It was hard to stay motivated to attend networking events when my family and warm bed were waiting for me.<\/li>\n<li>My first conference as a state leader meant that there were sessions I could not attend because of the required events. Being in the state leader meetings will more than balance out the missed information especially since the presentations will be online.<\/li>\n<li>Session length &#8211; 90 minutes was a little long for the sessions. I liked last year&#8217;s format with 2 hour &#8220;Deep Dives&#8221; in some topics and 1 hour &#8220;Idea Labs&#8221; for others. I realize this is logistically difficult, but I thought ACTE did a great job last year with it and disappointed they bailed on it after only one year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the past four days, I have been attending the ACTE Vision2013 Conference (online program).
