Oh my God! There are so many sessions to sort through! I've only had time to look at one day!
Here's what I have so far:
We are staying at the Holiday Inn Philadephia Historic District (400 Arch St.)
Sessions I'm tentatively planning to attend on Tuesday, 6/28 are:
1. Increasing Student Collaboration Online
2. Stopping in briefly at the poster session - Excel Interactive Maps: Who Thought Excel Was Only for Spreadsheets?
3. (Literacy)3: Digital Video in a High-Quality Literacy Program
4. ABCs, 123s, and WWWs: Early Learning and the Web
5. Stopping in briefly at the poster session - Elementary Blogging: Connecting Writers and Technology through Read2Write
6. Aquiring a Sense of Metaphor: A Distance Learning Experience
7. Moodle: An Open Source Alternative for Online Learning
Then I'm also attending the Opening Keynote, The New Shape of Knowledge on Monday night and the Wednesday morning keynote, The Natives are Restless
That's as much as I have figured out so far. I'm getting tired already!
I am staying at the Embassy Suites on Ben Franklin Highway. I agree with you Lori - there are so many things I want to go to!
I am attending the following workshops:
Sunday am Lead by Example
Sunday pm Nuts & Bolts of Videoconferencing
Monday am Planning for Succesful use of Videoconferencing
Then I also plan on attending the newcomers welcome and the opening reception on Monday night.
Tuesday pm I have a workshop on Virtual Adventures, and right after that I am going to a Special Interest Group on IVC.
Plus then I am still choosing sessions - there are so many to choose from! I want to go to some of the online learning stuff - the implementation and the portals. I also want to go to the DL in and out of the classroom and some the online professional development ones!
I don't think I will be seeing much of Philadelphia while I am there!
Lori, I would be interested in the information from your workshops. I think I will change some plans around so we don't duplicate efforts.
I hope you don't mind sharing information on the sessions you attend - because all of the ones you are attending sound great!
OK, here we go! These are the sessions I am looking at. Some overlap.
Tuesday
8:30am – Online Learning Implementation
10-11 – Poster Session in Grand Hall
11 – Storm Chasing: An Online Classroom Experience
Then I have a workshop on Virtual Explorations in the afternoon.
If anyone goes to the PM Poster Exhibit – I would love information on:
Returning to the 1800’s
Motivation thru Simulation
Integrating Technology to Increase Student Historical Thinking Skills
Free Web Tools to Enhance Access to the Curriculum
And if anyone goes to the workshop:
F2F and Online Programs: Anticipating Trends & Preparing for the Future – I would love to find out what you learned!
Wednesday
8:30am – I want to listen to a keynote speaker – but which one I am not sure. Right now I am learning towards Becoming a Catalyst for Change – just because I think it will be inspiring & motivating.

I finally got a chance to look at the rest of the session offerings tonight. In addition to the things I listed for Tuesday already, I'm planning to go to the following sessions:
Wednesday, 6/29

5. Educator's Guide to Blogs in (and out) of the Classroom
6. Digital Learning Network: Reaching NASA's Stars!
Then I think I'm going to the Pennsylvania Tech Coord's Birds of a Feather gathering, at least for a little while. I've been talking to several of them online and they've invited me to come and talk in person. However, there's also a Birds of a Feather session at the same time on EduBloggers that I'd also like to go to.
Thursday, 6/30
1. Lessons Learned: A Panel Discussion about Creating Educational Communities Online
2. Global Gallery session that I'd like to stop by - Information Literacy: Strategies that Work!
3. Another Global Gallery session I'd like to pop in on - Reading Rainbow Book Review: Incorporating Multimedia Technology
4. The Other Side of Information: The Invisible Web I think you are going to this one too, Donna.
I also wanted to go to Kathy Shrock's gagets spotlight session but it didn't fit in. Is anyone else planning to go to that one? I hope so. I think that one was on Wednesday afternoon.
