reflect

Instructors will use this area to post thoughts, ideas and reflections to help with next year's conference. Please include your initials after the reflection item so we can follow up with questions if needed.


 * CONFERENCE SPECIFIC**
 * Have and hire Tech Coaches to constantly be on the floor helping; watch stuff (CK)
 * Tammy S. should not teach sessions, Chad should not have groups (TS)
 * Have a "Beginner Day" or half day? (?)- or what about a first timers session run by a panel of repeat attendees (TS)
 * Make descriptions for registration for Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced so it's more clear (TL)
 * Or have a scale of 1-10 with descriptions or a quick self-assessment (TL)
 * Say we will start at 9, but plan for 9:15 with large groups :) (CK)
 * Offer "Advanced" classes if we get a good distinction of Advanced (CK, participant)
 * No Brewers game! :) Maybe a "boat" night or Tweet Up event? Do activity on 2nd or 3rd night after people get to know each other. Make it so people can come at the last minute. (group discussion)
 * Add district name to name badges (BG)


 * TECHNICAL**
 * Partner with WiscNet for conference WIFI? (TS)


 * ART MUSEUM SPECIFIC**
 * Art Museum Staff as guest speakers? (CK)
 * Ask if the bulb/projector could be "brighter" in Lubar (CK)
 * Museum opens at 10, computers go on around 9:30 which interferes with Skype so plan around that (CK)
 * Have a presentation from Art Museum on "how to look at art" before going on the tour to give a lot of great background information and what to look for and how to admire or look at art (?)
 * Dining options - maybe see about discount for Cafe Callatrava or "box lunches to go" (participant suggestion)
 * If using Skype, find better sound options. Try to cut back on echos and feedback. (BG)
 * Have no more than 2 skype sessions (TS)- practice lighting in lubner ahead of time
