I just wish I could find a video of it so I can show it to my colleagues and friends.

Math teachers are fortunate to have forward thinkers like yourself and these two to challenge us all to be honest with ourselves and realize how much less “helpful” and more thoughtful we must be.

@Climeguy, right you are about the blogging not being apparent. In trying to do my little tiny part, I’ve started using blog posts as my handouts (despite the appalling lack of Internet in the Marriott) instead of just web pages. The hope is that eventually folks will come back and comment. I even gave homework at the end of my Ignite talk on Wednesday, and while many folks have talked about it to me face-to-face, no comments yet. http://mathforum.org/blogs/annie

Check out an example on my blog: http://mathcoachblog.wordpress.com/2012/03/19/ti-publish-view-bringing-interactive-lessons-home/ Note: the player seems top work better in Explorer, rather than Firefox

I can’t wait to get my hands on the TI-Nspire software. I loved the way you could manipulate the models (the elevator and the urn) and see the effects on the graphs. This looks like a great way to demonstrate things like velocity and height, concepts I believe students struggle to understand when we graph them, often confusing one for the other. (I am not in any way affiliated with TI.)

The Thomas Dick was a very good talk IMO. Some fabulous examples and some good tests about what makes meaningful tech.

That is all of the ones on your list that I saw on Thursday.

Still having a good time.

I would like to get as much commentary on the conference as possible as I plan to write about it after. As you may or may not know the theme for this conference is technology and more than a 1/3 of the sessions are technology related. I’ve been keeping track of this for years and its usually closer to 15% of the sessions. (See more stat details about this conference at http://bit.ly/I2F2Fj ). What was most striking to me was that there was no mention of math bloggers anywhere in the program! (I’m going to talk about it at my session – I should have put it in the title – and at the CLIME booth 1337) Most math teachers at NCTM conferences are not aware of what folks like Dan and all of you who calaborate with him are doing. Please spread the word and stop by and say hello at the CLIME booth. You can use your smartphone to locate it!

How about, no puns?

(eg: 22, 55, 62, 74, etc.)
