edJEWcon 5772.0 – Ride the Wave!

It has been a topsy-turvy week in the life!  I have a lot to be thankful for and will make that the subject of next week’s blog post.  The benefit of rest and reflection will hopefully render me more articulate on the topic than I currently feel capable of.

In the meanwhile, let me thank those heads of school, foundation partners, researchers, and colleagues in the field for their continued interest and support for edJEWcon!  Your emails, tweets, Facebook comments, etc., has helped spark the fire and fuel the applications.

Check out the trailer here:

If you are interested in edJEWcon 5772.0 and want to learn more…click here.  If you are ready to apply while spots still are open…click here.  We are working on creating additional tracks and opportunities for those of y’all who are not part of school teams, but want to be part of the experience.

Our team is in conversation with many interested parties these days and exciting new ventures are brewing!  I have no choice, but to leave that as the simple tease it is.  As ideas become realities, we will have much to share in the upcoming weeks and months. But the snowball is cresting the hilltop…and the educational revolution is underway.  We look forward to playing our part and learning from those walking down the road with us.
