Shelly, Sheila Laskowski, Jessica W. and I were at EdCampMad this past Saturday. Fun Day!

Glad to see Milton teachers went to this! For those who don't know...EdCamp Milwaukee is on Saturday, May 10. http://edcampmke.blogspot.com/

A lot of the people who worked on this course are working in the Ed Tech and Charlotte Danielson Group I am a part of.

Sean, this is great! I think I will have "Edcamp" send out a few myths at a time to encourage people to come. Someone mentioned that they had a discussion with another SDM employee who didn't want to come because there wasn't an agenda ahead of time. Maybe this will change their mind.
