Shannon,
Expect to be overwhelmed - in a good way. As you approach the main building, there will be people on the corners handing out the list of possible workshops. Depending on what your interest is, you can pick and choose across reading, writing, word study all at different grade levels. This is always the hardest part for me, because there are so many that I don't want to miss, and I have to try to prioritize - it's never easy. You may want to take a PC if you have one. I can never write fast enough to keep up with the presenters. They do NOT provide notes of the sessions. I have never noticed anyone videotaping so I'm not sure if that's allowed or not. In addition to the am and pm sessions, there is always an opening and closing keynote speaker. You will not be disappointed. One suggestion, wear comfortable shoes - walking up and down the numerous stairs takes its toll. The rooms will be extremely crowded, so dress in layers so it's easy to cool down if you need to. If you let me know what grade level you are interested in, I can suggest some presenters that never fail to educate me. I've been going to Columbia since 1995 and have attended several summer institutes so I have found many people who always continue to think outside the box. Have a great time. My daughter is due to have her baby, so I'm not sure whether I'll be able to go this time.

What should I expect? Do they allow videotaping of the sessions? Is there anything that I shouldn't miss? Is the campus bookstore open that day as well? Thanks!
