My Week in New England

I am one lucky teacher.  I teach Robotics and Engineering classes, and the company who writes most of my curriculum is based in Manchester, New Hampshire.  Every summer, they host professional development training for teachers, and I get to attend.

It is a helpful conference.  I really do learn a lot.  As a bonus, this company chooses to treat the teachers they host like Kings and Queens.  Once we arrive in Manchester, we don't pay for anything.  They put us up in a Sheraton hotel, and feed us constantly.  They spare no expense when taking us out, either.  It's very nice.  Like I said ... I'm one lucky teacher.

This year, I learned much more about our Classroom Management software, which hosts all of the curriculum modules.  Plus, it was my first year to get some experience with the new Cortex Robotics Controllers (the controller is the 'brain' of the robot).  The new transmitters look like XBox Gamepads!  The students are really going to like them.
