GEN: "Newbie" Impressions of AASL conference

[Alice Yucht <AliceInfo@AOL.COM>]

For an article I'm working on --
if you were at AASL last week (already seems a long time ago!),
and this was the first national conference you ever attended,
would you please send me your impressions of the experience?

I'm particularly interested in the following:
--Why did you choose to attend?
--What did you hope to learn/discover?  Did you?
--What did you learn/discover that you had NOT expected to?
--What were the most valuable events/experiences?
--What "seemed" important, but didn't have a major effect on you?
--Were you 'on your own', or did you have an experienced mentor
to help you find your way around?
--Now that you're 'experienced', what advice would you give to
someone about going to the next conference?

TIA,
Alice H. Yucht --- always curious, always learning
