Who's on for tonight's #otalk ?
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
Hello from across the pond! Have been reading the wonderful tweets at #rcot2018 #otalk https://t.co/VMHKxXdEkB
#OTalk @OTalk_
@lookhearaust Yes! I'm not there either! Just a general chat tonight about conference, CPd or anything anyone wants to ask about #otalk it's also a good opportunity for new tweeters to join
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Lauren_OT @OTalk_ No worries! I am not there either. Next year I will be there after a 2 year absence! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@DebbiiHarrison Great, I'm not there with the #otalk team but have been enjoying seeing all the posts.
#OTalk @OTalk_
Evening #otalk it's @GillyGorry on the account. I'm not at #RCOT2018 with the team. I have been enjoying the posts around conference. Thought it might be a good chance to have an informal chat, good for New comers if we have any? How have you all been enjoying the conf tweets?
#OTalk @OTalk_
@sooshea That's a good sign! Hope it hangs in for the chat #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
I think this is a good question for the community. What would you say to Carolinas educator about Twitter? #otalk https://t.co/SwNBUlLrTA
Debra Hughes @Debraj_OT
@OTalk_ Hello from me... I'm in Belfast #RCOT2018 #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ @Lauren_OT That would break my bank... lol! #caot2018 is more affordable for me this year due to logistics reasons. #wfot18 already drained a lot of my funds too! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk did anyone get their photo taken in our Selfie board?
#OTalk @OTalk_
@Debraj_OT Hello! How are you enjoying #RCOT2018 so far? #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ Nice question! I think part of it is informal networking. Part of it is also the critical thinking that we have discussions wise with some topics. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
This is also a good point. How do people feel about conference costs? Tickets cheaper than they used to be so seems more accessible? #OTalk https://t.co/AydzTcWmlo
Debra Hughes @Debraj_OT
@OTalk_ I am loving it, my first ever conference and as a student too. Some stuff I am a bit deer in headlights but it's a fab experience and learning so much x #OTalk
Look Hear Global & Look Hear Australia @lookhearaust
@OTalk_ I am loving the community of Twitter - one that I didn't really pay attention to or realise how big it is! There are lots of opportunities here and it is WAY more fun than linked in #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ For me as an overseas visitor, logistics really play a role. 10+ hours for me to get to UK means long trip + expensive airline tickets. Of course, to make my trip worthwhile, I also have to stay longer, hence more expenses! #otalk
Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo
@Lauren_OT @OTalk_ Joining my first #RCOT2018 in my final year. Would have been so inspiring to come since first year! But yes cost and placement / assignments may come in the way! #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Debraj_OT @OTalk_ I felt that way way back when I was one! #otalk
Debra Hughes @Debraj_OT
@BillWongOT @OTalk_ It a a good experience and feel it will be so beneficial for me going forward #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@k_tedjo @Lauren_OT @OTalk_ This is also true for American conference with American students! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Lauren_OT @OTalk_ That is why I have to calculate everything to a tee and find ways to save! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@colourful_ot @OTalk_ This is one of the things in US- we have to talk to our placement educators in advance. #otalk

#OTalk there could be a twitter competition to win conference tickets #letitbeme
#OTalk @OTalk_
@Debraj_OT I gave my first conference presentation as a student in 2012, it was an eye opener and I think a positive experience which kept me CPD motivated #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@karen_geraghty I should be excluded in this competition yearly to make it fair... lol! #otalk
Look Hear Global & Look Hear Australia @lookhearaust
Heres one for tonight #OTalk form myself and @gracenelsonOT How do we record podcasts we have listened to and prove we have done it for our CPD records? #RCOT2018 #CPD #OTalk
Debra Hughes @Debraj_OT
@OTalk_ Wow....... I see how these people have so much confidence and passion for their particular area. This makes me more passionate than I ever thought I could be. #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Lauren_OT @OTalk_ To put up my kind of schedule every year is difficult. This year I am doing 8... and that doesn’t include #rcot2018 #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
People don't get it, until the get it! There's a great community here and lots of #CPD opportunities #otalk https://t.co/yWpRndD4oQ

It can be costly when you add in all the extras. How do people deal with the costs of conferences ? #otalk https://t.co/cT9aZFRnFx
#OTalk @OTalk_
@k_tedjo @Lauren_OT That's the difficulty for students. It's hard to balance it all. Reduced student fees are very good though! #RCOT2018 #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ Hostels have become my go-to spots to stay. My kind of schedule is IMPOSSIBLE for hotels. I am trading comfort and quality of sleep for quantity in experiences. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Good question. How are you recording CPD? #otalk https://t.co/IHkUUzZ6cP
Look Hear Global & Look Hear Australia @lookhearaust
@Lauren_OT @OTalk_ We try and get on the low cost or free ones e.g. Autism Show, OT show, COPA etc; I know they aren't conferences as such but lots of networking and bite size CPD info as a starting point. I try and pick 1 or 2 a year and then fun those #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@Lauren_OT @BillWongOT Have you tried your employer for funding? Regional committees may help with some costs also #otalk
kags76 ☕🏡💚🏞️ @kagz76
#OTalk the conference looks really fun this year https://t.co/gfF0gnqEUv
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ @Lauren_OT In US- I know I am using my employer to pay for registration for all the ones I want to attend... unless I am invited to come to one. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@lookhearaust @Lauren_OT They have some very good speakers at those events! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ @Lauren_OT Invites are also good... but you really have to be at the top of your game to get such opportunities from conferences. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@BethjmOT @OTalk_ @k_tedjo @Lauren_OT I know your jaws would drop to know how I can put up my schedule every year... lol! #otalk
Look Hear Global & Look Hear Australia @lookhearaust
@OTalk_ Current I screen shot them as I'm listening to prove I have, then I normally try and tweet the person with a question or reflection (not sure how to save that though... #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ And for overseas visitor, I am using my AOTA membership to get in these conferences at member rates. I did that for Canadian and Australian. #otalk
Look Hear Global & Look Hear Australia @lookhearaust
@DebbiiHarrison @gracenelsonOT Thats a good idea - and easy now too seeing as I've worked out that google docs can dictate #OTalk

@OTalk_ @Lauren_OT We will be going this year - it is our first time as @lookhearaust so I am a bit nervous but keen to put faces to accounts! Where/ when is the next #RCOT? I will budget that one in #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Sharing accommodation can makes things much more affordable #OTalk https://t.co/GUASS4p08u
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@NickyP_OT @otalk @LBOTSociety In US, I got spoiled because @USCChanOSOT has lots of scholarship for students for different conferences! But other programs might be like what you are describing. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@lookhearaust I keep a lot of lists. Screen shots, diaries. #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Just recording isn't enough. Showing what you've learned through a reflection as Deborah says is always #CPD imo #otalk https://t.co/Z0rwjuDZzZ

#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk has #RCOT2018 inspired any #CPD goals for this year? If so what? And how will you achieve and record them?
Look Hear Global & Look Hear Australia @lookhearaust
@OTalk_ What is some of the ways people record their CPD? I have a hard copy file but scan everything in once or twice a year so if I am audited I can just email everything off. I also have this spreadsheet.... #OTalk Happy to share the spread sheet too! https://t.co/vIQo6FkpW2
Debra Hughes @Debraj_OT
@OTalk_ I feel that I need to look more into research as I have been very frightened of it (and still am)however seeing all these amazing posters have inspired me to possible look at doing mine someday may be!!! #OTalk

#OTalk I'm attending an open day to look at doing a masters this week. I have a plan just need to put in to action. (@GillyGorry )
Dr Heather Baglee @HeatherBaglee
#OTalk one of my observations of conference is the healthy amount of talking and laughing you can hear : )
Debra Hughes @Debraj_OT
@OTalk_ @GillyGorry I have had to do research with Uni and having my dissertation coming up.... no backing out now. Lol I find it difficult with my dyslexia however that's a barrier I shell overcome I'm sure #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
This is great and self discipline to undertake self directed learning is very important. And I personally believe it increases motivation and passion for our work #otalk https://t.co/9WEbdmdyRc

@OTalk_ @GillyGorry Which masters? I have been looking at the advanced OT one at @CovUniOT #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@Debraj_OT @GillyGorry You will overcome, no doubt. Always ask uni for support #OTalk
Debra Hughes @Debraj_OT
@OTalk_ @GillyGorry Thank you.... I will indeed. I have come 2 years and passed everything and 3rd and final year is leering.... #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@DebbiiHarrison @lookhearaust I find my #cpd plan often takes a detour, always seem to end up learning exactly what I needed to though. #otalk

#OTalk final 10 mins of #otalk any top tips for #RCOT2018 conference goers? Or those following online?
#OTalk @OTalk_
@DebbiiHarrison @lookhearaust We never stop learning! I've learn so much through personal circumstances this past 2 years and it's definitely made me a better #ot #otalk

@lookhearaust @OTalk_ I've also got a caseload one with coloured conditional formatting to make sure I keep on top of everything. Visual spreadsheets are the best! #OTalk
