Like many of you, I am headed this week to Minneapolis for NCTE’s Annual Conference and the National Writing Project’s Annual Meeting. If you’ll be in town, you can catch me at any of the following events:  

Thursday:  

• I will be co-facilitating an NWP workshop related to Pose, Wobble, Flow with Cindy O’Donnell-Allen. This is a part of the afternoon sessions listed here.

• In the evening from 8-10, the amazing Chad Sansing and I will be running a game jam at the NWP Annual Meeting:

Join fellow National Writing Project educators for an open-ended conversation about games and play in the classroom. Pitch and prototype your ideas for games that teach, join a group learning a new game, or revisit a favorite game with friends. Part workshop, part hangout, all fun. Don’t be afraid to bring your own games, either!

  My NCTE schedule looks something like this:   If you like comics, inquiry, YPAR, yoga, middle school, connected learning, or unkempt hairdos you should come say hello!

I’m particularly excited to invite you to the first SLAM meeting on Saturday night:

On Sunday: I rest (or I meet you, IRL, if you ping me on Twitter first!) and then hop on a plane in the afternoon.

I’m excited to learn with many of my friends and colleagues at this year’s conferences. I hope to see you there!
