You can probably guess I have a soft spot in my heart for English teachers. What could be better than heading down to Orlando for the NCTE Annual Convention to talk about writing and books with a whole city full of dedicated educators? Well, I'll tell you. I've been invited to participate in a panel called POETS AND BLOGGERS UNITE: USING TECHNOLOGY TO CONNECT KIDS, TEACHERS, AND POETRY, organized by Sylvia Vardell.
This is a before-during-and-after project, so even if you aren't an English teacher or you are but you're not going to NCTE, you can play along at home. Panel participants/poets will be featured by bloggers (see list below) the week before: reader comments and questions would be most welcome! Then follow-up posts will keep the discussion going the week after the convention. So, please take a look and get in the mix.Tricia Stohr Hunt; The Miss Rumphius Effect

Jame,
I'm looking forward to meeting you next week at NCTE!
This sounds fascinating! Please fill me in, mentor dear. :)
Ok I have to say I am jealous just because I would love to go to Orlando! It's so cold here.
I'll be sure to post some deets, Caroline, and bring you back some sunshine Rebecca.
See you there Elaine---looking forward to it!
Jame - so looking forward to seeing you there!
