The Hollywood conference hosted by the Insight Education Group was a great learning experience. In addition to the captivating location, the conference hosts made every effort to make sure that participants were engaged and enjoying themselves.

Jason Levy, David Prinstein, Jesse Spevack and I presented a session detailing our school's integration of wikis, blogs and Google tools.

Here are some of the slides that we used for the presentation:

Rock the Classroom!

We're here at the IEG conference in Hollywood, and I've just had the pleasure of attending a great session.

Rock the Classroom focuses on learning more about literacy through music. Bradley Kesden, Daniel Raimi and Destani Wolf showed off some of their teaching methods, and had the participants not just singing along but also writing our own song.

This is an excellent way of integrating the arts into every classroom, making learning more engaging, and stimulating thinking.
