The people over at The Art of Education deserve a huge round of applause. A standing ovation even. I can’t imagine all the work and organization that goes into putting on an event as big as The Art of Education Conference Winter 2014. The presenters were stellar. STELLAR! Technical issues aside, attending this conference was well worth it, and I can’t wait for the next one. Some of you joined us at the cool kids table on Twitter to share your experience. For those of you who didn’t make it, here are some moments you missed.

I’m the student, I mean, teacher, who sits in the back of the room doodling and having side convos during your presentation #aoeconference

#aoeconference Power out in Ethiopia. Watching in candlelight with generator-run modem. Luckily I charged up my MacBook.

@ArtWithMrE Noooooo!!! My worst fear. It’s so painful, isn’t it? I just hope that’s not what I sound like in real life.
