Celebration of Teaching & Learning » Edutopia http://wliwcelebration.org Tue, 03 Aug 2010 17:17:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 en Inside Outreach http://wliwcelebration.org/blog/edblog/inside-outreach/45/ http://wliwcelebration.org/blog/edblog/inside-outreach/45/#comments Fri, 28 Mar 2008 18:34:50 +0000 santalone http://www.thirteencelebration.org/edblog/?p=46 For two years, as a teacher, I hoped to attend the Teaching and Learning Celebration. Who would have thought I would finally land my chance by working in the Education Department at Thirteen? My department, Cyberchase Outreach, presented at a panel discussion and an “In the Classroom” session. Both presentations were filled with passionate educators, described by one panelist as “an interesting and diverse group of people.”

I was one of many people you may have seen with STAFF shirts and walkie talkies. Most of my time was spent guiding guests to their next session but I did have a few minutes to poke my head into sessions I found intriguing as a math educator. In case you were at other sessions, or missed the TLC altogether, here are two sessions I am looking forward to watching on this site:

• Edutopia’s Milton Chen. If you do not already receive this innovative educator’s magazine…it’s free, go sign up.

• Majora Carter, the founder of Sustainable South Bronx. She’s using environmentalism to deal with urban public health problems.

Lastly, I wish I had the opportunity to see Two Million Minutes. This documentary received a lot of attention from bloggers on my Google Reader, and many guests I interacted with showed equal enthusiasm. Factor in Bill Gates’ testimony to the House Committee on Science and Technology and the National Mathematics Advisory Panel Final Report released this week, and this movie should be on the top of all educators’ Netflix queues.

This is an edited version of a blog that originally appeared on Inside Thirteen.
