Yapp Yourself?

I just created my first Yapp!  If you want to easily create an app with a schedule for a conference, meeting, family reunion, anythng, Yapp is the app!  The site is really intuitive and it took me about twenty minutes to create my for first Yapp...all for FREE!  Of course there are some in app purchases you can make, but I'm good with the free stuff.  So here's how you get started: 

Sign up for an account at Yapp.us.  All you need is an email.

Select your theme in the Yapp editor.

Start editing your pages, all which are accessable on the left sidebar of the editor.

When you're finished, click publish in the upper right and share your Yapp via email, twitter, facebook, or a QR code.

In order to view on your mobile device, you'll need to download the Yapp app from the app store.

Thank you Liz Castillo for sharing Yapp with me! 

2013 School Leadership Summit

Tomorrow is the 2013 School Leadership Summit.  There are some phenomenal speakers, including Yong Zhao, Bill Brennan, and Eric Sheninger to name a few.  There will be twelve hours of sessions, and if you can't make the sessions tomorrow, check out the recordings which will be posted shortly after.  Here's where you can find the schedule of sessions.  Scroll down to the bottom of the page, and click on your time zone.  When you find a session that interests you, click on it.  As of now, it looks like the session links are available only for the keynotes and I'm thinking the rest will be populated shortly.

If you're not a member of The Classroom 2.0 Ning, I would strongly recommend joining.  Steve Hargadon is an amazing educator who creates an abundance of FREE PD opportunities including the ISTE Unconference, another opportunity I would highly recommend.  ISTE 2012 was my first time to the unconcerence (Social EdCon) and the highlight of my entire ISTE experience (well, that and I was on the big screen at the opening Keynote...That was pretty exciting too!).

Attending a conference in person is pretty awesome, but also expensive (especially when you live in Hawai'i) so it's nice to have opportunities like this one where you can take advantage of hearing from top notch educators from the comfort of your own home!
