I had a wonderful experience at the NSTA conference! I got to meet one of my heroes, Paul Anderson of Bozeman science, and listened to a talk he gave. He has a very helpful website called the Wonder of Science that I am using to implement the new Pa STEELs standards. I also went to a talk from a fellow chemistry teacher, Sean Regan. He gave a great talk called using spreadsheets to learn science inquisitively and via differentiation. I have since connected with him via e-mail and we have shared resources. Finally, I went to a talk from Vernier to learn more about some the new equipment that we received this year.
