And just like that—it’s here… Summer vacation and iPadpalooza—a three-day learning festival being held at the Westlake High School in Austin, Texas—and my first-ever trip to a national conference. Not only will I be spending the next four days with some of the most awesome edtech rockstars on the planet—Carl Hooker, Steve Dembo, Matt Miller, Reshan Richards, Tom Murray and Greg Kulowiec to name a few, but I also get the opportunity to get up close and personal with some of my most favorite PLN peeps that I’ve only known to date via Twitter and the blogosphere—Lisa Johnson (The Tech Chef) and Cathy Yenca (Mathy Cathy). Additionally, I will have the chance to reconnect with Tim Yenca, my district’s Apple Professional Learning Specialist, and the person who convinced me that I should not miss this opportunity as well. Thanks so much for encouraging me to be present at this event so I could expand my connections, skills and knowledge with the best of the best!
