In the category of better late than never, here are the slides from my presentation at InstCon this year!  It was so exciting to be able to present this year as a partner and it was great to connect so many of my former Instructure co-workers!I co-pr...

Okay, this is a meta-post: it is post number 30 in my series of 30 InstructureCon blog posts. Whoo-hoo! I've been tagged them as #InstCon30, but they are out of order there now that I updated all my posts that made reference to sessions with video, s...

I was really happy to learn that I can embed the InstructureCon videos in Canvas Pages (details about that), and so what I did was to create a Canvas Page at my InstCon site for each video I had mentioned in a blog post here: My Embedded Video Galler...

Here's another wrapping-up post to end this series (just two more to go after this one), and what I wanted to write about here is some suggestions that I would have to share back with the great people who are on the team that organized InstructureCon...

As I get ready to wrap up this series of blog posts about InstructureCon, I thought I would write something here about "beginner's mind" and the mistakes / lessons learned for me. I met so many people who come to InstructureCon repeatedly, but it was...

I've kind-of sort-of been writing the blog posts in order of events, and since I am getting to the end of my 30-blog-post plan, I want to write about the ending event of InstructureCon/InstructureCarn: the carnival itself! It really was a carnival, w...

You can see the embedded video here: Michelle Pacansky-Brock* I'm typing the word on-line with a hyphen for reasons having to do with a tech problem at this platform; I know it looks weird, but otherwise the word disappears.Now that I have figured ou...

I took some time this morning to play with the InstructureCon videos which you can find here:https://www.canvaslms.com/instructurecon/video/2018/ What I learned today is that, glory hallelujah, you can embed the videos in a Canvas Page (even if you c...

I learned something AMAZING today at Twitter, which was a cause of much rejoicing (and for  @KristinL ‌ too!): the ever-generous and ever-ingenious Martin Hawksey has added an embeddable widget to his array of TAGS tools for working with Twitter hash...

We don't have a video for this one, but Ted has shared his slides!As I mentioned in my previous post on the UnConference, while Kona and her helpers were arranging all the post-it notes into sessions, we got a crash course in "user experience" from D...

So I got out of synch here when I saw the video had been made available, but they are still putting the finishing touches on that (just speaking for myself, I hope they will disable the popup that asks for personal info like phone number to watch the...

You can see the embedded video here: Linda Jean LeeWow, the end of the summer really is here, and the official first day of class is (gulp)... tomorrow. I probably should have tried to get myself to write two of these InstCon posts per day back in th...

You can see the embedded video here: Sean NuferI got behind on my InstCon posts yesterday (busy day!), but it works out really nicely to get caught up today with two wonderful sessions from Thursday morning: snufer's session on embedded (which I will...

And so the whirlwind-of-learning began again on Thursday morning with the Michael Bonner keynote (banner image above is from his website). The presentation was FABULOUS! I hope lots of people were watching the live stream for this one. Maybe people w...

After all the keynotes and session on Wednesday, my brain was... TIRED. But the River Run Street Fair brought me back to life: it was wonderful! I got to meet up with friends there, including Instructure friends like  @biray ‌ (hi Biray!). The weathe...

You can see the embedded video here: Jared Stein (Adora Svitak's keynote is not available, unfortunately).After reporting on the five sessions I went to on Wednesday, I wanted to also say something about the Wednesday keynotes. I missed the morning o...

You can see the embedded video here: Matthew JenningsThis whole 30-post approach is working out great: I'm halfway through the posts, and I've also reach the end of the first day of sessions, which is a good halfway point also. So, after Kona and the...

You can see the embedded video here: Broward CountyAfter Kona's inspiring presentation on student-centered teaching, the next presentation I went to was something completely different, and equally wonderful. The lovely ladies of Broward County showed...

You can see the embedded video here: Kona JonesSo, we've reached Wednesday afternoon! And the first Wednesday afternoon session that I went to was... the Canvas Community's own Kona, Coach of Coaches and all-around Canvas Guru. The room was packed, a...

Today I want to write about one of those "hallway moments" that people often mention with regard to conferences... although in this case, it was a food tent moment! After the engineering panel, it was time for lunch, so I found myself standing in lin...

So far I've written about the first two sessions that I attended on Wednesday, and both of them used live polling: that was really fun! Mollye used Kahoot in her OER session, and the engineers used polls.ninja. There were other live polling tools tha...

You can see the embedded video here: Engineering LeadershipAfter getting off to a great start with the OER session on Wednesday, I then rushed off to the Engineering Ask-Me-Anything session. This was something I was excited about because there had be...

You can see the embedded video here: Mollye RussellAnd now at last I am getting around to the actual sessions that started on Wednesday (I clearly had too much fun on Tuesday, hence all the posts so far before the sessions even started). The first se...

Yes, those are gremlins in the banner image, and today for my #InstCon30 post I am writing about the wifi gremlin. As you might know, I was planning to do live notetaking from the sessions on Wednesday and Thursday; that was the whole drone idea: I w...

Hi! My name is Ken and this is the story of my InstructureCarn adventure.  Things started out normal enough... canvasbaby‌ brought me and Barbie along for the annual Jones family road trip to InstructureCon (Kona "Community" Jones), and I figured I w...

Before moving on to Wednesday, I realized there is one more InstructureCon encounter from Tuesday that I forgot to mention: I met Devlin Daley, one of the original founders (along with Brian Whitmer) of Instructure, and also the first person to intro...

TL;DRIf you have never been to an Unconference, change that! Don't miss this great opportunity to keep the #instcon conversation going.Session NotesI must confess that I intended to take notes throughout the Unconference, but as things unfolded I fou...
