The speaker lineup at POSSCON is world-class.
POSSCON turned out to be a great event. Big thanks to Jeffrey Hammond, Lee Congdon, Mark Anzani and Deb Bryant for a great AM of panel discussion
Thanks to Matt Asay for moderating our panel at POSSCON. Well worth the trip to South Carolina. Great regional event.
The synergy between developers, business people, and teachers makes POSSCON pretty unique, I haven't really seen this anywhere else.
It was very nicely run and I think you did a bang-up job. You should all be proud of what you did.
This is like nothing you've ever seen before. You can look at the pictures, you can watch the videos... but just like a concert, you have to be there.

Throughout history learning by doing has been the basis of education. From the informal training gained in traditional hunter/gatherer societies where children mimic adults, to the formalized apprenticeships of the 18th and 19th centuries the transition to the workforce required experience. Math mastery requires solving problems, quality writing requires putting words on paper. This presentation will conduct a series of hands on activities that link multiple subjects providing an opportunity to learn by doing.
