main point: refer to text (rather than opinion) - develops rigor - "i don't think so because stats show..."

my take on session: offer the text... let kids play... converse... rinse and repeat

need to watch: no child left thinking via couros
backchannel:
need to consider infused vs. enhanced - I often think of infused as adding tech to what we already do - I like to think of enhance since that is looking at what tech can offer that we couldn't do before via scott

Paul Kolenick (pkolenick) - connect with him on student driven curriculum (before i could - he was following me.. i love the web)
When Chris was wrapping up.. talked of the need for
