RML After the Show -- Sheryl and Bud, Wow!
Darren posted this on his blog...http://adifference.blogspot.com/
I just got home from my inservice. My part, Rip, Mix, Learn was in the morning only, from 9 to 11:30 am. I went to another session on project based learning in applied math in the afternoon. But my head has been reeling from the morning's session.
Sheryl and Bud, I can't thank you enough for your incredible contributions! I was only able to read your comments, on the blog and in the chatbox, now. I was so rushed during the workshop I just couldn't participate in or observe your part of things. I've got to tell you that I think the comments you made and the simple fact of your presence made it a success beyond my wildest imagination! You both made such insightful and helpful comments to the teachers in the workshop. And to answer one of Sheryl's questions -- yes, they were all math teachers. ;-) workshop.

It was an interesting experience. I believe Skype, at least so we could have heard, would have made the experience stronger. Being able to talk to some of the participants and comment on the blogs was really cool. I had only read Darren's blog once prior to showing up for this experience,finding it on Stephen Down's page but I had read about Rip Mix Learn on an older Brian Lamb page and a 2004 Alan Levin presentation.
In November I plan to give a similar presentation in Alabama and follow-up with a virtual make and take workshop. I hope Darren will return the "visitors from afar" favor.
