Hello and welcome to podcast #9 of Speaking of History. This past week I attended the NCSS conference in Kansas City and spent a couple of days talking and visting with some great people from all over the country. I was lucky enough to have the conference right in my own backyard this year and took advantage of it. This podcast I discuss some of the sessions I attended, people I met and reflections on the overall experience. In a future podcast I will have a "sound seeing tour" from a dozen people I met on the exhibition hall floor.

A great podcast, Eric. Makes me long for my history teaching days. I was especially impressed with the way you worked other speakers in to the program. Can't wait to hear from the exhibitors you talked to.
ReplyDeleteI'll be attending our state educational technology conference next week, and am preparing for my sessions right now. Listening to your podcast has quickened my anticipation.
Also, great technical work with the music.
