I voted for you the Chicago way–early and often.

Not that you haven’t heard that about a million times, but congrats, and well done. I know you can’t hear it enough. You really work hard on this blog, but you make it look so easy, and that’s the way to keep it.

Interesting. I didn’t get that email. :-)

Guess he went by what he felt were the most interesting categories.

Congratulations on your award.

Jackie, I'm pumping my fists for you, doing this little shadowboxing thing. Way to go. Tanya, I project onto a whitebard so I can scribble all over the images. My first year here my portable classroom didn't have a pulldown screen. I pushed to have one installed only until I taught a lesson without one. Couldn't go back.

Congrats, and thanks, Dan, for all the help and insight. I look forward to reading your blog, and I can’t even begin to count all the good ideas you’ve inspired! My precalculus classes love working for mastery, and I’m brainstorming now how I can do mastery with my non-AP calculus class next year. Any ideas?

Oh, and another question. I know you use keynote for presenting, but how do you work out problems for the students? On a whiteboard, a tablet? Maybe you don’t work out problems for students?

Thanks, again!

Congrats and my thanks for making my road a bit shorter. I know you’ve had a profound effect on my views of design – for which I thank-you. I’m just beginning on this path, but I know I’m getting there. Last week I used a worksheet made by another teacher. One of the cherubs said, “You didn’t make this, did you?”. I asked how he knew. He replied, “It doesn’t look right.” I sent you silent thanks at that moment!

Congrats. I’ll keep talking up your blog to my new teacher friends. And my not-teacher friends. For what it’s worth, you’re making my conversations richer.
