Debra, Michele, et all,
I didn't say that I didn't try to meet the needs of those in attendance
at the conferences. I just said that I have been using a title that
allowed me to share where I was at the point of the conference rather
than were I was a year earlier....
The title I usually use is "Problem Solving Activities that require
Communication and Reasoning". All of the sessions that I have done, with
that title, do in fact contain activities that are "problem solving" and
require the use of communication and reasoning.
later.....
