NCAECT was an amazing conference this year, and not just because of the all star presenters the association brought in (Will Richardson, Leslie Fisher, Chris O’Neal, Elliot Soloway, and Cathleen Norris) — but also because of the attendees. Many of them were not tech all stars. They were rookies, just off the street. They were elementary classroom teachers, science teachers, social studies teachers, health and PE teachers. I just read this blog post from Hitchhikr, on my way to bed, and it made my heart sore. I’ve been in a real funk since Will Richardson’s report on his conversation with Representative Lamarr Alexander. But I’m all better now!
