“The only thing I didn’t like about Kim’s presentation is that I only had 14 hours before my students would arrive for my 90 minute classes the next day. How would I have time to get all those new ideas into my lessons? So, I pulled together what I could – including a plan to use text message language to discuss dialect in Huck Finn. We’ll see how it goes. She really was a great speaker – and we so needed that information!” -Judy, Educator
