Welcome members, nonmembers, conference goers, and anyone else interested in this blog's-eye view of the NSTA
Annual Conference in Boston. As I write this, the conference is still a month away, but as you might expect, we're already gearing up.
Most of you reading this will be at home, though some of you will be in Boston, but unable to see EVERYTHING. Well, we won't be able to show you everything, either, but we hope through blog entries,
YouTube videos,
podcasts,
pictures, and even twitter entries, our merry band will take you on roads both more and less traveled to show what attending an NSTA conference is like.
I'm Tyson Brown, and I've worked at NSTA for 15 years, so I've been to a few conferences. I'll spend most of my time in Boston talking to teachers and exhibitors about the products and services they want from NSTA to make teachers' lives easier. If you happen to be in Boston while reading this, drop by the NSTA booth (look for the colorful banners) and say hello.
I'll stop here and let my fellow bloggers get in a few words edgewise, but here's quick intro:
-
Dale Basler and Brian Bartel, two science teachers from Wisconsin and the fellows who bring you the
Lab Out Loud podcast
-
Mary Bigelow, a retired but not retiring science teacher from Pennsylvania, who taps out the
SciLinks blog
-
Lynn Petrinjak, who hails from the Jersey Shore (as I write this, I'm sure I have it wrong) and happens to be Editor of
NSTA Reports
-
Debra Shapiro, Associate Editor of NSTA Reports and Maryland native.
See you in Copley Square!
