More of the Same...kind of

I am in Reno! (see earlier post)

I arrived yesterday and on the shuttle to the hotel I looked around and saw...teachers. Six of them. I could tell they were teachers because they looked just like me! All of us are here for the same thing. We all come from similar situations: rural schools, new to teaching journalism, enthusiastic about the possibilities.

The sessions so far have been fascinating. We are fed like royalty, and I have a 14th floor room overlooking the west mountains. We arrived to our classroom to find swag bags full of he following: Sharpies, post-it's, lotion, sunscreen, chap stick, and a stainless steel water bottle.

Will take pictures later if I have a minute.
