We just got back from the AERA conference in Washington DC. Joan and I co-presented a paper, Student experiences of technology integration in school subjects: A comparison across four middle schools, which was well-received.

Greg and I had a great time visiting Washington DC. It was bitter cold at times, however. We attended lunch and dinner with friends, visited the Holocaust Museum with Joan [Hughes], toured the Lincoln Theater and many government buildings with the exception of the actual White House, which we merely gazed upon from outside the gates because apparently if you want an actual tour inside the building, you must request it 6 months in advance. Next time. We visited the National Wall and Lincoln Memorial, the National Zoo, the botanical gardens and several of the Smithsonian Institute museums. It’s definitely a city you can’t experience all in one visit, unless it’s much longer than a week and you aren’t trying to work too. 🙂
