For those of us who couldn't make it to #ncte18 this year, this thread is a gift. Thank you Kelly Gallagher

Headed home after a long weekend with English Teachers- #NCTE2018 and #cel2018 -validated, renewed; ready to share ideas and a suitcase full of books!

But, THEY Started a Sentence with “But” usedbooksinclass.com/2019/03/10/but…

Every student with a book they love @WHschools in high school English! #diversebooks #nomorefakereading (book covers only to protect student privacy—they read much more comfortably ;) Colette M Bennett @ACES_PDSI

Q3 #celchat I think the panels are good...but the time is often unevenly spread between panelists. Panels need more time than solos.

#celchat Q4: Why present? Because you found something that worked; a way to connect; an idea that you want to spread. Aren't we all evangelists in the classroom?

#celchat Ditto #thinkingthinkingthinking

#celchat Back to my writing deadline...and onto the CEL19 proposal deadline!

#CTCTE19 Morning keynote by (“rockstar) Christopher Lehman and Dr. Carla España gets attendees off to a great start for dis-comfort!

OK, @EsMteach, Kate Baker -I have submitted a proposal for #CEL19 -"5 Blind Men and the Elephant of Data in the Room"-feel free to put the proposed session into a panel format if you want...(I can trunk-cate the elephant!)

Dear Jason Reynolds, Please…Stop….Talking usedbooksinclass.com/2019/04/02/dea…

#AtwoodLive watching from Milford CT

Hey #NCTE19 -what’s with no offerings for attendees from 9:15-11, 11/22 other than keynote? No sessions; no exhibit hall? Forced downtime not great value; we should get to select what we want to see (*hint* it’s called “choice”)
