I had an incredible time at this year’s MITESOL Conference. I was awarded the Best Presentation of MITESOL 2014 as well as the Best of Affiliates Award at TESOL 2016. This means that out of all of the best presentations nominated by TESOL affiliates (over 100 participating organizations worldwide), my presentation was chosen as one of the top eight and will be featured at the international conference in Baltimore this April. Shortly after receiving this award, my name was drawn in a raffle and I won a very heavy bag of textbooks! The books were geared toward middle schoolers, however, so I delivered them to a session about better serving adolescents. I felt a bit like Santa!

For those of you who attended my session and those of you who missed it but still want to know more about blended writing classes, an interactive Nearpod version of the presentation I gave will be available soon!

Thank you to everyone who helped make this conference happen. See you all in Baltimore for TESOL 2016!
