That was a big win for me personally because the CUE annual conference can sometimes feel overwhelming with all the tech tools. Attendance at the UnCon wasn’t great but every edcamp (another uncon) I’ve ever attended started small and built over time. I love the edcamp model of unCon.

We should not bore them with dry lectures, poorly presented on Power Point. We should not expect to razzle-dazzle them with bells and whistles on the latest tools of technology. Presenting mounds of data without real context will be wasted. Conversation is the best tool for collaboration, which is the basis for adult learning.

If done properly, and not a victim of a death by power point delivery (having every word on every slide read to the audience by the presenter) these presentations are sometimes interesting. It does not rely on Power Point Presentation sessions.
