Yesterday, I attended EdCampNYC with a couple hundred passionate educators mostly from the metropolitan New York area. Since I used to read Harper's Magazine and loved the Index most of all, I thought this would be an awesome (or lazy, you decide) way to fill you all in.

  1. Great list and an interesting way to reflect. I read another post about the Talk Back to Administrators session. I'm sorry I missed it. I'm not sure whose blog it was on, but it sounds like it was a great way for you and Lyn to share. Thanks for taking such a long trip to be with us!
