I attended a "AP Stats for Newbies" session at 8:30 am, a very good session by a veteran teacher. She shared a lot of practical activities that I will try this year. The second session at 10:30 am was by a professor at Cal State Fullerton, he demonstrated linking geometry and statistics. It was a good presentation, but I didn't particularly like the activity much. The session at 1:15 pm was by a retired statistics professor. He shared many fun probability problems which I found very interesting. I will definitely use them this year in my class. Lastly, I attend a large session called IGNITE. The format is as follows: each presenter has 5-minutes and 20-slides. The slides auto advance and the speakers get to make their points. Of the eight speakers, the good ones were great, and the bad ones were still bad. I sat with two other teachers. At the end, we continued to interact and discuss our passion for the profession. We shall continue to have the conversation in the future. In all, I found this year's conference to be very valuable. I even bought some dice, including a few 30-sided ones.
