A Visit to Hartford, CT

November 13th, 2011 by Carl Harvey

I’m a little behind in sharing some of these adventures, so working on playing catch-up today.    I had the pleasure of visiting the Connecticut Association of School Librarians in Hartford, CT on Monday, October 24th.  They held a one day conference in collaboration with the Connecticut Educators Computer Association.

This was a whirlwind visit, as I headed straight from the AASL Executive Committee meetings in Chicago to the conference and straight from the conference to the Minneapolis for the AASL Conference.  But, I had a great day with the folks in Connecticut.

My sessions focused on leadership and elementary 21st Century Skills.  I enjoyed listening to the opening keynote from Dr. Jason Ohler.  I had a quick visit with author Jerry Pallotta who had visited our school 10 years ago.  It was a great day chatting with friends and meeting new ones from CT.  Sara Kelly-Mudie and her crew from CT put together a great one day event.

It was kind of neat to be in Hartford, too, because I got a sneak peak of the facility where the 16th AASL National Conference will be held on November 13-17, 2013.
