Page history last edited by Suzanne Elsasser 13 years ago

 

Un-Conference Sessions

This page is for posting session idea topics you would like to offer or you would like to request. The sessions posted on this page may or may not eventually be added to the actual schedule.

 

The full schedule and room availability grid will open up later in the month. We still have some logistics to work out on what rooms are for classes and what spaces/rooms will be used for registration and vendors.

 

How to add a session

1) Log in and hit the "Edit" tab above.

2) Add a session title (in Heading 3 -- under the pull-down menu above that currently says "Normal"). Underneath, in bold, add the type (Hands On/Panel/Presentation/Demo/etc), duration (30 or 60 mins), and your name as the presenter.

3) Highlight the session title and click "Insert a link to a new page" under Page Tools in the right-hand sidebar.

4) Give your new page a name -- it should start with 2011_session_ and probably include the title or part of the title of the session.

5) Save the page (the button is in the lower left corner)

 

Now, click on the link you just made. It will take you to a dialog for creating the new page. Keep the default name for the page, and make sure you put it in the "sessions" folder. It should give you a new page to edit -- add your session info and save it!

 

Session Ideas

 

Please add sessions that you would like to offer up to the group here. Each session should have it's own wiki page. If you are not sure about how to create and/or connect a wiki page, please add your session information here, then ask for help on the Ravelry Forum, and another camper will be happy to convert it into a wiki page.

 

Session information needs to include: title, type, duration, presenter / facilitator , description 

Session wiki pages should start with "2011_session_" and be put in the sessions folder

I cannot be there in person to teach the lace class but I have some ideas for creating lace charts that I can offer to someone who is actually teaching. There's a lovely online tool (free) called ChartGen if you haven't seen it already. Part of the course could include instruction on how to use this tool effectively http://chartgen.orangellous.com/

Once I get fully registered I'll get a magic loop class listed on this thing. I LOVE doing magic loop. Currently learning how to do socks from the toe up...too new to be able to teach it yet.

I'd love to take a Photographing Your FO session! I'm so tired of my knitting photos looking nothing like my FOs.

Has anyone ever made a duct tape dummy? I've seen instructions online, but never actually tried it, and I am SO ready for a chance to do this.

I never heard of this - it sounds great! If there's a session about this, I'm in!
