Hi Dan,
Enjoyed your NCTM 2014 session “Video Games and Making Math More Like Things Students Like”!

After attending your session, talking to my 29 year old son (25 year gamer ) about the 6 points of learning you shared, and reading the article at the link below (where data in the study came from gamers), I question where the focus on developmentally appropriate is today.

I look forward to posting some of his related feedback when you share the video talk – if it records well.

Thanks for the shout-out and congratulations on another NCTM in the books. It seemed busier and more interesting than usual, that’s got to be good right?

[…] Dan Meyer’s blog, especially his pre-NCTM list of sessions and people to see is always awesome. I’d love to meet Dan one day, he seems pretty awesome. I love the fact that […]

Hi Nina, thanks for the interest. I’ll be recording the video game talk and posting it eventually if all the video & audio turns out. The textbook talk, unfortunately, is already finished and gone.

Hi Dan,

Thanks so much for sharing all your great ideas throughout your blog!

Unfortunately, I won’t be at the conference, but I am particularly interested in your talks about textbooks and video games. Do you know if either of those will be recorded and shared/livestreamed?
If not, do you think you would post your notes on the blog?

@Kate, the choice may wind up being so hard that I just recuse myself to a hotel bar. My incentive for going to yours wouldn't be to learn the ins-and-outs of teacher blogging, though, it'd be to learn how people talk about the ins-and-outs of teacher blogging, which seems like a really complicated subject to talk about to me.

I’m being sincere here and not just “Oh shucks” about it, I swear, dude, you don’t have anything to learn about blogging from me. Unless you want to bask in the 2 minutes of my presentation that will be a love letter to dy/dan. Plus I need good recaps of Geoff and Bowen.

While you’re there, can you convince Sarah Bush that Rules That Expire and Nix the Tricks are a match made in heaven? Bribe her with a free sticker maybe?

Gee, I HAD been feeling bad that I can’t get to NCTM this year, but now, seeing all the conflicting sessions I would need to choose between and considering how torn I would be at having to make those impossible choices, I’m feeling a teensy bit better about not being able to attend after all. ;) #senselessrationalization

Looking forward to the recaps! And vibes and greetings to all the speakers and participants!
