DESCRIPTION
Here are the slides I presented at CUEBC 2010 in Richmond, BC minus a few of my personal, classroom slides. Unfortunately, uploading them is beyond my District's fair-use agreement. If I can be of any further help feel free to contact me. Good luck redesigning your classrooms in your schools and districts!TRANSCRIPT
