Ok, now I just have to write, when you, Lee, and you, Eli/Unified Field, are in one message, representing two of my favorite professional connections. Hi Lee! Hi Eli! And hi to Marla! (Listserv members: end of personal note, promise.)

I am now at Wireless Generation, an Ed tech co. in Brooklyn, and we are interested in including Maker philosophy and practice into a part of our work (not early childhood at this point, but the ideas inform one another, of course). Would love to be in touch offline on this.
