InstructureCon 2017 - Which missions to accept?

[sbeck1]

I am so excited about InstructureCon this year... We have been on Canvas for 1 year now. We attended InstructureCon last year, but we were so unsure of what we were doing, we sort of fumbled through the sessions. There were 7 of us there last year also, so we were able to divide and conquer most sessions. This year, there are two of us going. There are so many great sessions, how do you choose which ones to attend?

(I'm also an instructional designer, so sharing with that group as well!)

I often do a combination of look for things that are new/different and who is presenting. Sometimes it doesn't matter if the content seems like something I might already know, it's worth it to see certain people present live. An excellent example of this is the Community session - Go Rogue with Us (I want to see the CM's present!) or A00364575‌'s session 6 Years Later: Where Is This Canvas Early Adopter Now? (Neal is pretty awesome and since we've been using Canvas for 5 years I'm interested to hear what he has to say). It's also good to remember that all of the sessions are recorded so even if you miss one in person you can always go back after the fact and watch it!

And, since I'm into shameless plugs, I would also strongly recommend the Canvancement session to anyone -  Accomplish the Impossible and for any newbies (HE or K12) - No Need to Blame Canvas. 😉

Can't go wrong with anything Neal or the USU folks have to present on!
