Mazza Museum Summer Conference
"The Mazza Museum: International Art from Picture Books is the world's largest museum devoted to literacy and the art of children's picture books. Founded in 1982, the Mazza Museum now contains nearly 5,000 original artworks." (http://www.findlay.edu/offices/resources/mazza/default.htm)
I will attend three days (July 13-15) of their Summer Conference with the generous support from the Floyd and Stella Dickman Endowment.
Visiting the museum has been a goal of mine since I was an undergraduate, "Penguin Story Teller" at Youngstown State University. While the club is no longer active, the club and its advisor were key in leading me to where I am today...

OCTELA Conference Notes
7:30 Arrived at conference location. Checked-in and viewed vendors. Discovered the Ohio Resource Center for Mathematics, Science, and Reading whose goal is to correlate resources to the Ohio Academic Content Standards ... (hmmm) ... Set up for my presentation.
8:35 Morning announcements and presentation by author Cinda Chima.
Chima is putting out a fourth book in the Seven Realms series and two more books in her Heir series.
In her tips for writers, she referred to the ten rules of fiction.
10:00 Gave my presentation called "Science Through Stories" for PreK to second grade educators.
"Educators will be connected to literature that has been correlated to the Ohio Department of Education’s academic content standards, particularly the early learning/primary, science content standards. Sharing correlated literature using story reading and storytelling techniques (plus extension ideas) will be demonstrated. Science and storytelling resources (books and websites) also provided."
Overall, my presentation went well. While I had a small audience of three people, they were supportive and attentive. One was a young Kindergarten teacher, one was a seasoned second grade teacher, and the third was an individual who has worked in several areas including the Ohio Resource Center. The small audience allowed for conversation on "best practices."
As a whole, the OCTELA Conference seems to draw more middle school and high school teachers than those from an elementary or university setting, which contributed to the low attendance.
11:05 Attended "Community in the Classroom: The Ultimate 21st Century Skill" by outgoing OCTELA President Karla Hieatt Bisig from Wilmington High School.
After my own presentation and research on the importance of engaging emotional intelligence in education, it was awesome to see this idea of intrapersonal learning expanded and used successfully in an educational setting.
12:00-1:45 Keynote Luncheon with announcements, presentation of awards, and speech by author Sharon Flake.
I must read The Skin I'm In.
2:00 Attended "Beyond Google: Newest Tools for 21st Century Skills" which was presented by my former high school English teacher Colleen Ruggieri, now a teacher at Canfield High School.
Her passion and enthusiam were tangible and envigorating. However, this presentation brought to mind the stereotype that younger people naturally know more about technology. I thought, "I am at least ten years younger than this individual who just introduced me to thirty new and useful websites. Where have I been?" Apparently, the answer is that I've been at conferences to learn about them! :P
3:00 Attended "Multimedia Minilessons: 'But did the Authors Say It Was a Symbol?'" by Angie Beumer Johnson and Maria Workman from Wright State University.
The premise is that the use of media in educational settings helps individuals transfer knowledge and understanding to text and literary devices.
4:00-4:15 Finished gathering and loading my presentation materials.

Mid-Winter Conference Schedule (Planned)
The Mid-winter Conference is less than two weeks away!
Here is my schedule so far:
Thursday, January 22: Arrive in Denver in the afternoon. Meet up with roommates. Find hotel and explore local attractions before EL Reception from 10 - 11:30 PM.
Friday, January 23: EL Workshop from 8:30 - 5:30. Smart Investing @ Your Library grantee ( http://www.libraryvisit.org/smartmoney.htm ) reception from 6 - 7:30.
Saturday, January 24: EL Town Meeting from 1:30 - 3:30. Project A Team meeting to be scheduled. Explore the Exhibition area.
Sunday, January 25: Preschool Discussion Group on incorporating non-fiction books in "story programs" at 4:00. Explore local attractions.
Monday, January 26: Travel home.
I suspect that other responsibilities and opportunities will arise and am as much excited about the possibilities as I am with the schedule.
My greatest concern is the traveling between events -- finding out where the events are located as well as the most visitor friendly (and cheapest) transportation to these locations.
I need to consult a map and become more familiar with the public transportation system before I leave.
