So the 2014 TCC conference is coming to a close. It's been a great ride with great presentations and lots of learning!! I was able to watch some of my 2012 OTEC cohort present their Master's projects - that was exciting! I remember the seeds of these projects being planted as we persevered through our first year with the ETEC program. I even earned some badges - 2 to be exact, the one everyone gets - the Futurist Badge and the Merlin Badge - for being a social media whiz (actually I tweeted 5+ times)! There definitely is something to be said for gamification - prizes or in this case, badges are a great motivator.

This is actually my 2nd TCC conference, but I was much more engaged this year. I'm not sure why - was it that I knew some of the presenters? Was it that I was more familiar with the format? Was it the lure of the badges? Whatever it was, it was a worthwhile experience. I was able to choose those sessions that I was interested in and also appreciated that I was able to watch recordings of those that I could not attend live. I was able to learn about tsunamis, cyberbullying, needs assessments and tech tools to name a few. Great presentations, great learning! Mahalo to the planners, volunteers and presenters! I look forward to next year!
