ACTEM Conference

What a great conference. I am not yet comfortable with a lot of the new "buzzwords", but having heard some of them before, it is beginning to sound a bit more familiar. I found out that MIT has open courses where you can take any of their courses online with no cost. I learned that I can setup a website through moodle for free. The keynote speaker was very interesting, but I am not sure that some of his views of what first graders can do is accurate. I also think he is living in his own "perfect world" concerning students. Many of my students do not have computers or the Internet at home. They especially do not have high-speed Internet connections, neither do many of our older students. I am sure I learned more, but I need to process it first.
