Welcome CASE Convention Attendees

I'm guessing that a few folks may be visiting the blog for the first time as a result of Anne Smith's and my presentation today at CASE. Here's the web page that we referenced with examples from our classrooms. Again, please remember that these are not all fantastic examples - we share our successes and our "works in progress" so that we - and hopefully other folks - can learn from them.

To learn more about this blog and our staff development efforts, you might read About This Blog and The Beginning. To get a feel for some of the discussions that happen on this blog, you might look through some of the Best(?) Posts of 2006 or Best(?) Posts of 2007. If you're interested in presentations like the Did You Know? presentation, visit the Fischbowl Presentations page. You can also learn more than you ever wanted to know about the presentation at the Shift Happens wiki. That won't include the version we used today, but you can download that as well (without the music, unfortunately, due to copyright reasons). You can also download the PowerPoint we used for the "rant and rave" portion of the presentation.

And even though he was stuck in Newark and left Anne and me holding the bag :-), you really should start reading Will Richardson's blog - he's a very smart guy with a lot to offer you and your students. Rest assured, Will, you still have lots of friends in Colorado - including the two below.
