Overview introduction
When I first started talking to Judy Condon about potentially coming out to Georgia and speaking to everybody....I racked my brain, trying to think of a creative, fun catchy theme for my presentation that I could pitch. And honestly, at first, I had nothing. I was stumped until that weekend. You see on Sunday nights, my girlfriend and I have this ritual where I head over to her place. Make dinner and we watch our shows. Over the year, she indulges me by not only sitting through football games, but also True Blood and Game of Thrones, on the condition that we also watch those Housewives show on the Bravo network. On that particular Sunday night, I was thinking aloud pitching ideas at her...Because that what significant others are there for right...And The Real Housewives of Atlanta was on in the background...and as I sat there and listened to what I'm sure is a very accurate (sarcasm intended) portrayal of the wonderful citizens of Atlanta, the light bulb when off in my head. With a little tweaking of the logo of the show and the network, I found my inspiration. You can see below how the acronym BRAVO serves as a guide for today's schedule.

Now everybody is an adult here and if you'd like to metaphorically skip the last page and read how the story ends by spending the next 3 hours looking at the webpage instead of listening to me....I'm not going to stop you. However, if you'd like to follow along with the presentation and hit each page when it's the appropriate time, I feel as if you'll get more from today. The choice really is yours. You're not going to hurt my feelings either way.
Backchannel
Todaysmeet.com (there is a link on the webpage) is a webpage that allows you to sign in and ask questions and make comments (please be positive). It's really a pretty awesome thing. The plus is you don't have to have somebody be the designated secretary/note taker. I've left the room open for a year....So you can refer back to it as many times as you wish.
One of my favorite principals I ever work for was from East Texas and had a real strong southern accent. Every time she talked to me, she would call me @kreyus. SO, I broke that down phonetically and adopted that as my twitter handle. If you're into the tweeting thing, and would like to tweet out things you're learning about this morning, compliments or accolades about this morning presentation, feel free to include me. I'm also using the hashtag #cobbk12art.
Dropbox
Finally, I've set up a DropBox account. After you've completed a project, drawing, movie, etc.. this morning, please upload it...So everybody can see what you've done. Open up Safari and type dropbox.com in the UR. Login using [email protected] as your USER ID, password: artteachers. Upload your finished projects to dropbox.
