Over 6000 art educators will converge on the city for this annual professional development conference. I'm looking forward most to see face to face the art teachers that I've been communicating with throughout the year in my personal learning networks on Twitter and Facebook. It's amazing how much we can share virtually and how it energizes the classroom.
This year I will be presenting with some amazing art teachers from across the country:
