OPERATION: CONVERGE18
DE-CLASSIFIED DETAILS FOR YOUR MISSION
THE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN...
BEHOLD...THE CODE!
No one wrote it. It just always was and now it is. It just kind of evolved within the Converge Community out of the real-life experiences of those who were there. We pulled it out of the air and put it down in writing. Follow it and you’ll make the most of your Converge adventure and possibly even help change the way you teach and learners learn.
Prepare Thyself...
The power to predict is a special human ability. We embrace it by thinking ahead. Expecting to be connected all day? Think device, plenty of charge, hashtag ready? Deck yourself out with easy access to your favorite tools. Be prepared like an all-in-one Swiss Army Knife so you don’t have to “McGyver" your way through the conference!
Play as a Team...
Consider the community and keep an eye on your friends. Extend that friendship to new friends, too — even Convergers you’ve never met before. If you see someone who can use a hand, offer it. You will make his or her day, and provide an example that will multiply across the Convergesphere. We are all experts in something. Share the wealth and the knowledge!
Radiate Positivity...
Converge is a “Traditional PD”-Free Zone. Leave your stress and worries at home. For a few days this summer celebrate the best things in our classrooms. Smiles, high fives, and random acts of kindness… Happiness, learning and innovation is the goal. Proactive positivity is a proven way to get there!
Don't be that Guy or Gal...
We hate being negative, but we’ve seen it too many times to leave it unsaid. You’ve seen it too. That guy is a vibe killer. That gal is a mood wrecker. It’s a powerful cautionary tale that can help us all experience the best that Converge can be. Experience what you need and get what suits you.
Share the Message...
Converge has a strong message that comes straight from the heart. When it comes to your learning and your experience don't be afraid to tell the world. #MISDConverge18
CREATE A MISSION PLAN
ARE YOU READY?
Using earned artifacts and clues from mini-missions (breakout sessions) each operative or agent will collaborate with others, or work independently, on a debrief video report of their intel from OPERATION: CONVERGE18.

Those agents illustrating the best of the Converge Code will be rewarded handsomely:

- CONVERGE CLASSROOM AWARD: 250 dollars for the classroom of the best individual MISD Agent of Influence debrief video.
