Math Establishment: Wow. This guy’s got some following. And we can see him, hear him, read him for ourselves. Let’s invite him to be a featured speaker at the national conference.

Could this happen in the past? Sure, theoretically. But it was much, much harder. So probably not.
On the Web we can write (and podcast and video and Tweet…) ourselves into existence. Teach our children, please, how they can be Dan Meyer too.

P.S. Teach our educators too.
Hey, you could come to the TIC conference, too. We’d love to see you in Fayette!
Believe me, I’d be there if I could. But I’m flying to Japan that day with my daughter…
Have fun!
