Always a perennial favorite of pre-conference planning, the At a Glance pages are now on the net, and ready for your consumption. I remember my first year of the conference, trying to flip through the massive conference booklet, searching for the sessions I had highlighted the night before. It can be difficult, and often downright daunting, to sort through the many pages of sessions, hand-on workshops, and featured speakers, so the At a Glance pages come in quite handy in providing a nice grid organized by location of the sessions and times. No more flipping back and forth in the conference booklet; just go down the list for the 10:00-11:00 slot and see which sessions are going on that hour.
I spent this last Monday going through the At a Glance pages with the teachers in my building that are headed off to MACUL, and many of them seemed to appreciate looking at the grid to see which sessions they would be able to attend. They also got to make the difficult choice of which session to attend for sessions scheduled at the same time without having to wait for their full conference programs. The At a Glance pages are a definite MUST for anyone looking to pre-plan their trip to Grand Rapids this year for MACUL08.
