Blogging Around
Okay, so it's January and I finally get it! I have a blog at www.dconrad3.wordpress.com and that is where I did all my blogging during the 2008 NCTE convention. Today, in 2009, I realize that I could have been posting blogs here, as well...
Go to my blog, Notions and Potions, and see what I had to say then about what proved to be a professionally motivating and intellectually stimulating conference! You can also learn more about me and my interests in education and humanitarianism.

MIT university is trying to build a free resource to help kids learn SAT/ACT thru the power of user-generated images and video. We are currently running a nationwide contest, challenging kids to make fun and memorable flashcards by pairing sentences and images to a common test word. There will be a small cash prize and iTunes giveaways. Due date is May 22.
More details at brainyflix.com/main/contest_rules. Do you have students or colleagues who would be interested?

Thanks so much for your comments about To Understand -- the greatest pleasure for me is when superb teachers find affirmation in its pages and when the book helps them think of ways to create new learning experiences for kids -- not implement what i suggest, but to truly create new thinking for themselves and their students -- that's my goal.
