How to Maximize Your NSTA Conference Experience |
This Web Seminar, developed in collaboration with the NASA Explorer Schools program,
took place on March 12, 2008, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The presenters
were Howard Wahlberg, NSTA Assistant Executive Director, Membership, Ken Rosenbaum,
NSTA Chapter Relations Consultant, and Flavio Mendez, NSTA Symposia and Web Seminars
Director.
The presenters worked as a resource team and provided an insightful, informative,
and comprehensive presentation on NSTA conferences. Topics included types of sessions,
networking, resources available in the Exhibit Hall, scheduling tools, suggested
attire, and field trips. The Web Seminar participants asked many questions and provided
comments, further preparing them for the NSTA conference in Boston.

the presenters and NSTA staff. Participating educators represented the states of
Alaska, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
