Today I had the opportunity to present at VSTE: Virginia Society for Technology in Education. I gave an Ignite talk, which has the unique format of 20 slides in 5 minutes. The goal is similar to a TED Talk, where the presenter's goal is to "ignite" an idea in the audience and compel them to action.
My presentation focused on the ways we have been using augmented reality at our school this past year. Examples included our yearbook, art show, library, chemistry, and biology lessons. I also included an idea for using augmented reality to assist with homework questions (have your early finishers make it!).
This was my first presentation at a conference. Someone had approached me at an EdCamp and asked me if I would apply/present back in September. I hesitated at first, then faced my fears and agreed to apply. During the presentation, I was nervous, but had the support of my principal in the room.
The overall experience was very, very positive. So much so, in fact, that while I was at the conference this week, I completed an application for a EdTech conference coming up in March!
