Meetup recap

Thanks so much to everyone who came to last night's InsideEd meetup. Over the course of the evening, we had about 10 folks in our corner at Teavolve, plus me, Arin and our editor, Patricia. We had one math teacher trying to recruit The Smallest Twine to write curriculum for city high schools. We had an English teacher, a school social worker, a community organizer/blogger and a parent. Nobody stepped up to debate Bill, so we talked about his 5-month-old puppy instead, and his fiancee told us about her first day working at North Avenue. We also talked about literacy curriculum, teacher retention, Tweeting, the mores of Facebook friending, and the ethics governing blog comments.

I really enjoyed the company and conversation and look forward to another meetup soon!

Sorry I couldn't make it. Had coach class until 4:30 and then a prior commitment. Hope to make the next one.

Couldn't make it at the last minute, due to kid obligations. I'm glad to hear there will be another one!

I enjoyed the meetup as well -- thank you for putting it together!

I hope that you will have another meet-up before school lets out!
