Here is the transcript of your backchannel conversation for $eventID. This is a wiki page. As such, you can edit this page and insert text into the transcript, contining the conversation, as I have done. To edit, click the EDIT link at the top of the page. The password is ''teacher''. You can indent your comments by inserting '''-->''' at the beginning text. Many HTML codes can also be inserted. Other formatting features can also be found at the bottom of the edit page. ---- <img src="http://landmark-project.com/images/Wordle_-_Create-20131108-162333.jpg" align="right" /><img src='http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/378800000711287426/5ebecb171a54a704eb785f3e9058027e_normal.jpeg' style='float: left; width: 35px; margin-right: 10px;'><a href='http://twitter.com/account/redirect_by_id?id=1195528902' target='_blank'>Patrick Goff</a> http://t.co/btDooRhcIK David Warlick - event notes #NSTA13" 8 Nov 2013 - 15:09:26 <img src='http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/378800000065978337/9593d1d22b632aba41a16269f8b79508_normal.jpeg' style='float: left; width: 35px; margin-right: 10px;'><a href='http://twitter.com/account/redirect_by_id?id=811103886' target='_blank'>Jen Sieracki</a> Looking forward to cracking the code of the "native" learner! @dwarlick #NSTA13" 8 Nov 2013 - 15:09:29 -><span style="color: #900;">I hope that I didn't disappoint.

If we want to promote STEM, then we need to realize that we can't teach it. It happens as students start to think and feel like scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians. That happens within learning experiences, not teaching experiences. Science teachers probably do this better than anyone else. But it should be an explice part of your story, of your repertoire. </span> - dfw<img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/7f39fcc720abd8b9787b378a95ee8149' height='25' align='right'> <img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e' height='25' style='float: left; margin-right: 10px;'>sarah Enjoying the conference! 8 Nov 2013 - 15:10:15 -><span style="color: #900;">One thing I love about what I do is attending conference in areas that are not my usual focus.

There no one 7-step process. We tend to focus on the bad information. We jump up and down and get all excited when a student encounters bad information. When it's good, then we just pat them on the head. Instead, we should focus on the good, by constantly asking the question, "How do you know that's right?" If we get students in the habit of find the evidence that the information is good, then the problem is solved. </span> - dfw<img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/7f39fcc720abd8b9787b378a95ee8149' height='25' align='right'> <img src='http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/3636613666/d24d75ee094ec0fad46c5f613ad4d669_normal.jpeg' style='float: left; width: 35px; margin-right: 10px;'><a href='http://twitter.com/account/redirect_by_id?id=124281648' target='_blank'>Diane Johnson</a> #NSTA13 not about technology; it's about information.

When I first started teaching myself to program, I used trade books. However, today, I simply look for conferences out on the Net, between people who are trying to learn what I am, and people who already know. When I find those conversation, I learn from them, and they may have happened yesterday. You know how long it takes to publish a triad book.
