I must confess my ignorance? HGIS??? How is going in school??
If that's it...Pretty well to start. A chapter past due, manuscript revisions to make, proposals to review, data to code and parse, videos to transcribe, analysis to run...and oh yeah homework...par for the course.
I must say I am loving the forward vision of NCTE. This NING is just one more example of how they have embraced technology and literacy education. Good luck trying to move the rest of the field in this direction.
Delighted to find you here. I met you when I spoke at the CT State English conference a couple of years ago. I am so impressed with your work and your publications. You are the best... Welcome! (In my photo here, I'm the one on the right. It can be confusing, I know).
