#NCTE14! (and the crowd goes wild!)

NCTE is definitely one of my favorite times of the year.

Nothing is better than getting to connect with edu-friends. Or the fun of doing that squinty eye look as you try to sneak-read someone’s name tag as you wonder, “Have I seen your face in a little twitter photo before?.” I’m looking forward to being in the D.C. area and for the energy of this upcoming weekend.

My friends and I at The Educator Collaborative have many events going on and we hope we’ll get a chance to say hi to you.  Sessions, signings, meet-ups…. and we’re really excited to organize an informal meet-up we’re calling the “Professional Book Swamp Meet”!  All the info is below.

Events

 

Sunday morning Meet-up and “Professional Book Swap Meet”

As I prep for the trip I am finding I share many feelings with others:.
