I attended AERA
this week in my adopted “hometown” of NYC. I assumed that I would have
things to post about and links to share, but I it really isn’t that
kind of a conference. Given the 500 page fine print book of
presentations, my goal was to see a handful of specific presenters …
current teachers, former teachers, friends, researchers I know about,
etc. To that end, I was able to see and meet briefly with Drs. Amy Adcock, Anne Leftwich, Curt Bonk, and Terry Anderson.
In the process of hearing their talks, I also got to hear from a slew
of other presenters during their sessions. Unfortunately, the
conversations were too brief, but that is usually the way with this
type of thing. At the end of the day, I picked up on a several new
concepts to chew on, but I’m happy to be back at my laptop to rejoin my
“real” learning network 😉
p.s. I missed running into Chris Craft who tweeted that he was at the conference … too many people, too many venues, too little time …
