I want to say to the person who said it might not be worth going to a 10 person unconference…I believe that sometimes this is how a good unconference starts out and then it builds up over time. I had a great time with a small number of people at TeachMeetGA at KSU (on a Sat.) this past winter.

I’ll be sure to try that in the near future. Thanks!
