These few days in San Francisco have been wonderful. I wandered through the Exhibit Hall in short blocks of time to keep from being overwhelmed. I attended several really thought-provoking sessions, again limiting myself to 4 a day to keep my brain from overloading. I had several very entertaining conversations with colleagues, and went for many solitary walks. The balance was just about perfect.
I also managed to be lost most of each day whether I was inside or outside. I hate that feeling, but I think I might be in for a future with much more of this. I've agreed to set up a facebook group for the Adventist Science Educators Association - so I was lost until Shannon steered my in the right direction. I'm not purchasing advertising, so the page may be lost in cyberspace. I want to revise my Biology 11 and 12 courses to reflect better teaching practices, so I will be finding my way through the forest of good intentions to a "place just right". I need to revamp the chemistry course also - I spend too much time on review and not enough on the new material - so that is more time which I will spend finding my way. I will revise Math 10 and completely redo Math 11for this next school year.
I sure am getting a lot of practice in finding my way out of trouble for a woman who doesn't like being lost!
sounds like a mostly good time away.
ReplyDeletelearning is always fun, right.
