The SLA Slam Poets presented this beautiful poetry 

at the ISTE 2011 closing address last week in Philadelphia, PA. 

This is where we need to be as teachers. Listening to the students. 

I want to thank them for the inspiration they brought to me as they

challenge each of us as new teachers or teachers that need to have the passion rekindled.    

Thanks to each of these young people for making it real1
