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_
[REDACTED USER] 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
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ No worries! I am not there either. Next year I will be there after a 2 year absence! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] Great, I'm not there with the #otalk team but have been enjoying seeing all the posts.
#OTalk @OTalk_
Evening #otalk it's [REDACTED USER] 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_ [REDACTED USER] 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
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
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
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ This is also true for American conference with American students! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ That is why I have to calculate everything to a tee and find ways to save! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @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
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
[REDACTED USER] @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
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
RT @Debraj_OT: @OTalk_ Wow....... I see how these people have so much confidence and passion for their particular area. This makes me more…
#OTalk @OTalk_
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_
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] 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
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] @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_ [REDACTED USER] 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_
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] They have some very good speakers at those events! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] 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
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I know your jaws would drop to know how I can put up my schedule every year... lol! #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
#OTalk @OTalk_
Sharing accommodation can makes things much more affordable #OTalk https://t.co/GUASS4p08u
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @otalk [REDACTED USER] 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_
[REDACTED USER] 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_
Fantastic!! #OTalk https://t.co/Sh180IcTp8
#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk has #RCOT2018 inspired any #CPD goals for this year? If so what? And how will you achieve and record them?
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 @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. ([REDACTED USER] )
Debra Hughes @Debraj_OT
@OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] 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 @OTalk_
@HD55 That's always a good sign!! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@Debraj_OT [REDACTED USER] You will overcome, no doubt. Always ask uni for support #OTalk
Debra Hughes @Debraj_OT
@OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] Thank you.... I will indeed. I have come 2 years and passed everything and 3rd and final year is leering.... #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I find my #cpd plan often takes a detour, always seem to end up learning exactly what I needed to though. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk final 10 mins of #otalk any top tips for #RCOT2018 conference goers? Or those following online?
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] 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
#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk thanks for joining everyone! Carry on enjoying the #RCOT2018 tweets and get your #OTselfie with the #OTalkonTour team if you can. Thanks Gill.

[REDACTED USER] @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
