1. Sunni Brown, founder of the #doodlerevolution, gave an opening Keynote about losing your “learning junk” and “identifying your inner narrators,” allowing us to focus on what holds us back from taking the leap of learning. @SunniBrownInk
Awesome,thought-provoking keynote! Helping us get curious and appreciate our inner critics @SunniBrownInk #IPDX17 @SunniBrown pic.twitter.com/KPx0S5PkVp

4. Derek Runberg and Jeff Branson with Sparkfun Education taught us that coding in the classroom can bolster your existing curriculum. We build a data-gathering Arduino to measure light in the classroom for a ready-to-import data file. @JeffBranson1

5. Dr. Lodge McCammon kicked off his closing Keynote with a video of himself, and didn’t stop there: we watched him (literally) sing, dance, and play guitar, and we even joined in! He taught us that 1-take videos save us hours in the classroom, and that when we’re up and moving, our brains are seriously lighting up! @pocketlodge
