We asked the participants of this first one what were some of the ingredients that they enjoyed and what would make them give up more personal time, not even 2 weeks later, to attend another get together.

It would be great if you can skype in! @Barb The pot luck style get together was a great way to make everybody feel more relaxed and not intimidated. You don't have to wait until next year to have your own LAN party. This can happen at any time. @ Kim Thank you for taking the time to Skype with us in the first place. I know how hectic it is in the morning when trying to organize your day. The time that you did spend with us was great! You are right about the energy and enthusiasm. A couple of teachers that came last week have already RSVPed for the next get together next week. Yes, we have to "spread the love"! :) @Cheryl

I'm bummed that I had to rush off to teach after only a few minutes! Last year we did something similar here at ISB and I need to make sure we do it again this week - even if it's something simple. Most of the teachers I know probably are not aware that such excellent professional development opportunities are available online for free! This is such a great way to build energy and enthusiasm - no matter how small the group is! Thanks for reminding me to get out of my little niche and start spreading the K12online love in the real world! Thank you so much for inviting me to Skype in, Silvia.

I wish I'd thought of it!!! I may have to keep that for next year's conference. I have just found that site this year, and am still trying to watch some, but I've also found the archives and realize I can access it later too. Whew! What a relief!! Anyway, I think that's a great way (potluck) to get your teachers to stick around a while and learn something. And it's also a great use of Skype! What a wonderful idea! I wish I’d thought of it!!!
