Changes
Key: Additions Deletions
- Bring a watch!
- Make sure you assign just one person to "scribe" at a time, or you'll have editing conflicts.
- Bring an icebreaker game and some key issues within the topic you'll discussing to your session. This way, if discussion dies down -- or never starts up -- you'll have some tools to end that uncomfortable silence.
- Get some practice on how to gracefully interrupt a "talker" at your session.
- Don't be afraid to let things go off topic. That's the whole point of an unconference... discussion on one topic often easily flows into another.
- If you're taking notes live, it may be easier to type yourself the note "insert link to x article here" instead of looking for that resource while discussion is under way. After the session has ended, you can spend a few minutes to find and post the link. This way, you won't miss important discussion points because you've flipped over to Google or gotten locked up while waiting for a PDF to download.
- Have FUN!!!
