    Unfortunately, I'm already tied up for this summer but I've forwarded the invite on to the Appleby faculty and hopefully there will be more joining.

    Hi,

    From your bio it seems that we have similar teaching backgrounds, i.e. ELA, ICT, Literacy. At the risk of sounding self-promoting my book, The Struggle for Literacy, was published a few months ago. I am also very much involved in media literacy associations, provincially and nationally which I co-founded.

    I'm anxious to discuss these things with you.

    Hi Sharon -

    I haven't had time to breathe this month nor to thank you for coming to ICE! It was great to spend a bit of time with you! I think your sessions were really well received and inspirational.

    I'm off to Wisconsin this weekend for WEMTA and will see Jen at this conference. One of my sessions is on global education and I'm planning on discussing your work. I'm giving participants a link to your toolkit spreadsheet in case they'd like to add their two cents if you don't mind! I'd love to see what people are suggesting.

    Anyway, let's keep in touch...

    Am willing to do anything on this end until I can get a summer to join you guys in Africa. Will probably get my wife involved here to. She teaches AP English at Vincent Massey and is currently working towards her Masters in Curriculul development.Any suggestions as to what I could do would be appreciated.
