I (along with a couple of fellow CASL peeps) was able to get to nErDcampLI yesterday and it was a great day!! Here is the matrix of all the sessions and the accompanying notes:) All of the docs are open for edits so if you have resources to add, feel free to do so. Please don't delete anything!
I was invited to moderate one of the sessions with some amazing authors on the topic of "Reading books that deal with tough topics in middle school." It was a great experience and we covered tough topics in general so it may be of interest to everyone.
Save the date for nErDcampCT coming to Connecticut June 13th. We are working on a location now and hope to lock something in by the end the month. Let me know if you are interested in being involved with the planning of the event or have suggestions for location. We are looking at New Haven and Hartford/West Hartford schools as a location for various reasons.
