The Q &A Pirate Code: Shiver Me Timbers, Here Be Treasure!
Q. So you're finally at OSD Unconference, what do you do?
A. Stop at the greeter table to pick up your welcome packet. Put on your name tag and add your Twitter handle, if you have one!
Visit the wall which will display all discussion session topics, times and room numbers. This information will also be linked live via this invitation flyer.
Head over to the breakfast spread in the gymnasium, have a cup of coffee, mingle and say hello to the crew. As you chat, brainstorm ideas that you'd like to start a conversation about. Why not consider partnering with a friend and being Conversation Starters together!
Q. What is different this year?
A. Based on feedback plundered from last year:
- Breakfast will be served, and will not be "pot-luck"
- The kick-off assembly will be shorter
- There will be an additional discussion session so more pearls and treasures may be shared
Q. Do you have an idea or question? Are you a Conversation Starter?
A. Be brave, write it down and post it on the wall. After all, I am sure that there will be someone else who will want to join you. Take a risk!
Q. Do I have to lead more than one session?
A. Avast (No!), one session is all it takes!
Q. Why should a pirate have such a lengthy breakfast?
A. Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day on Unconference Day! Fueling up for the sail is important, as is this time essential to the development of The Wall and the professional learning that will take place throughout the day. Please dock on time for breakfast.
Q. Can we add discussion topics as we go?
A. Aye Aye, Yes! You can add a session topic or question any time throughout the day.
Q. I don't have a Twitter account, what should I do?
A. See our Twitter master at the Twitter table. She will help you set up an account, learn new ways to use Twitter or just have fun posting with your mates!
Q. Are you ready to drop anchor at the selfie station?
A. Head to the photo booth with your crew to capture a few treasured moments! Use the hashtag #OSDpirates to tweet your golden nuggets from the day's adventure!
