On Friday, I spent the day at Harvard Graduate School of Education, at a conference where many graduate students were presenting on recent research that they have been doing – either for their dissertaion work or for courses they are taking, etc. I observed many students from other schools presenting their work which ranged from highly interesting to highly esoteric. I was excited to hear positive feedback from my research on dialogue in the PBL classroom. Many people felt that it was important work and well done. Very nice to feel validated in that way. I also heard great reseach being done on discipline in urban schools, learning differences in math education and other areas.

I’ve also had this website go public, so hopefully if you are reading this you have either received my invitation email, or have heard from a friend about my website. My hope is to really create an online community where those educators who have been in touch with me with interest in these areas can have a space for the types of discussions that we are all interested in. I think this might be a good start and hopefully it will take off soon.
