This years NCTE conference was such a great experience. Being able to attend and participate with the Folger team was too cool. The highlight for me was not only a great movie ( I start the Scottish play next week) but making a connection with Paul, my neighbor to the south, who is mentoring me in the design of a new two day workshop. And then, of course, there were all of the other NCTE presenters, authors, and vendors. I encourage all teachers of English to attend the conference at least once. You will never regret it.
Wow…still recuperating from NCTE. I’ve been Folgerized (that’s a good thing). I got to your booth and two of your presentations–both rocked! (Missed the movie, but I heard great things about it from some colleagues).
I hope you’re at NCTE 2010 with as much stuff (or more, maybe?). Actually, Florida is a little far for me, but the presences of the Folger will be the tipping point for my attendance.
