Reflection of FETC 2016 ....

The Future of Education Technology Conference a.k.a. FETC is a great place to connect, learn, and share with other educators from around the world. This year was my second time at FETC in person. In the past I lived vicariously through others via social media. I presented an Augmented Reality in Education workshop "Seeing a Different Kind of Reality" and a STEM workshop "iMade IT".  The staff and volunteers for the conferences are amazing. They go out of their way to make sure your workshop/presentation goes smoothly. I truly appreciate that. Thank you!

I really liked the variety of sessions offered as well as the variety of vendors in the exhibit hall.  I find it hard to just pick one session to go to at a time.  I really liked that a lot of the presenters shared out their resources via social media, because there was no way you can attended every session you wanted to.  Since I missed out on the FETC Photowalk I went on a walk by myself taking a few pictures here and there.  I was also very happy to connect with my PLN face to face at the EdTech Karaoke.  It was great seeing them and talk with them.  If you can you really should met up with your PLN via a Tweet-up or at a EdTech Karaoke.

Over all my experience at FETC was amazing.  I loved connecting with other educators and being able to share Augmented Reality and STEM projects.  I also love hearing what others are doing in their classrooms and how they use tech to enhance the learning experience.
