Attending a Conference

There is nothing like meeting with colleagues. Right now I am at a national conference of Astronomy Teachers called "Cosmos in the Classroom". I am lucky to be sitting next to famous authors and hearing presentations by renowned astronomers. There is nothing quite as rewarding as hearing a big name professional express some of the same concerns that I have. Every presentation seems to open up a wonderful new avenue for exploring techniques and resources I can use.

I know we will all have the same experience at the Online Teaching Conference in the Fall. I look forward to seeing many of you there. I cannot wait to meet some of my fellow bloggers in person. It's always great to see people in person rather than communicating electronically. I am sure we will all learn about new and exciting techniques we may want to try in our classes.
