I’m not sure while I’m only just now hearing about Escape from the Textbook, but it sounds like it’s broadcasting right on my frequency. The conference runs from 9:15AM to 3:15PM (Pacific), tomorrow, February 12. It’s sold out but they’re livestreaming the event so let’s you and me get a conversation going on the backchannel. See you there, buds. [via Avery]

If nothing else, it allowed me to connect with knowledgeable teachers from all over (and one from the same city I live in here in Michigan — crazy).
The chat cuts off after so many lines, so it can’t be archived (as far as we can tell), but I kept some personal notes and reaction here if anyone’s interested: http://mrwyzlic.blogspot.com/2011/02/escape-from-textbook-notes.html
