Every year I plan my trip to the HEAV Convention with great care. Like any large event there is so much to see and do that if I’m not careful I’ll forget half of the things I wanted to see and do! This is especially true of the exhibit hall– I need to look at physical books and materials before making a purchase if possible, but without a list and plan I get side-tracked and end up purchasing things that while interesting and neat don’t necessarily fit with our learning environment.
I keep my notes from year to year and find them a useful resource for planning the following year’s work as well.
Today I received a notice in my email that the program for the convention was available digitally for review and printing. I know there will be a nice printed one in my registration packet but there are a few things I want to review and mark up before the convention. I downloaded the document and printed the following:
I assembled my materials:
I also used the computer to look up vendors with whom I was not familiar.
You are awesome!
I agree with Emily: you really are awesome! I am so impressed!!
I LOVE the HEAV convention and count it as one of the highlights of the year, but I have never approached it in such an organized way. Hats off to you for being so organized and inspring!! 🙂
Organization is really just a coping mechanism for me. If I didn’t have that binder I would walk into the convention, see the crowds and walk right back out! That many people really scramble my brain…K
