Ughh that conference was every bit as bad as I thought it would be! It was 2 LONG ass sessions. The first was a keynote speaker, who spoke about her experiences raising her daughter with Down syndrome, and how she taught her to read. It was interesting enough, but there was no real tangible information to use back in the classroom. The afternoon session was about Playing with Purpose, and while there were a few good tips and tricks, for the most part it was just telling us more of what we do, and the woman was too busy trying to “amuse” us. We left at 3:15, even though she wasn’t finished, so that we could beat the rush hour traffic. I’m also catching a cold, so I was sitting there with a scratchy throat most of the day. Blech!
