What kind of learner are you?  Students learn in different styles.  Link:http://people.usd.edu/~bwjames/tut/learning-style/stylest.html

Vicky Allen:  Skype vistor
Did 5 things wrong to begin with...to see if we noticed.  1. She is wearing a hat that blinked 2. She was late 3. disorganized 4. Didn't have eye contact 4. Off topic 5. Didn't know about your technology

Basically:  Lighten the mood, now, close your eyes in imaginary trip and will ask questions.

1. Go to your favorite workshop room in your mind.  You are early. You are watching the speaker, post its, markers, projector,  posters around the room, time comes to start. Welcomes and introduces herself.  Then the hashtag #Allentech2012  Remember the pre-reading and pre...then take an everywhere poll, then it shows live. (Allowed input)

2. Workshop- need to allow people to be interactive. Get people ready ahead of time so that you can talk.

Next senario:

1. Back to the presenter.  The presenter showed video clips, discussion, audio files, flash drive back up video (things happen , had a back up). Twitter feed up on the projector screen.  See responses. Had to work with new people. Worked in collaborative soft wear and worked together to produce something.  Presenter is walking around the room and facilitating.  Show and explain what you have learned. Post a comment and reply to someone else's response.

Learning Styles:  Why is that important?
We need to learn how to work with each other as adults.
