The Elementary Extravaganza opened this morning at 8 am. When I stopped by a little later, the room was packed (I heard an estimate of approximately 500 attendees). Teachers were testing out a variety of activities—I saw balloons, balls, and other objects flying around several tables. I also saw Page Keeley, former NSTA president and author of the Uncovering Student Ideas in Science series, discussing assessment.
The Extravaganza included many door prizes. I wonder who won the iPad?
