NCTM 2013 is on us in two weeks.
- It’s a banner year for speakers. I’ll post a few recommendations shortly but you have all the usual institutions plus a few new upstarts from the blogosphere. I’m looking forward to it.
- It’s a very expensive ticket. No two ways about that.
So if you’ll be attending NCTM, consider recapping a session or two for MathRecap.com. A photo and a few paragraphs is all it takes to open the conference up to the 99% of math teachers worldwide who can’t attend. Leave your details at the volunteer page if you’d like to help them out.

It doesn’t have to be the whole thing. How about a 5 minute video giving your pitch, and whatever handout you’ve already prepared for participants?

‘Cause that’s hard.
None of the things we do when we play around on the Internet is intuitive.
