During the math conference, I attended an IGNITE session. This format allows each presenter exactly five minutes, 20-slides, with each auto-advancing every 15-seconds. The first presentation, "Disneyland, Buses, and Wine", was my favorite. The speaker Cheng spoke of the need to be creative (Disneyland) in the classroom. He is a professor at Cal State Fullerton but had driven school buses for 14 years. He believed that collaboration is the best way to improve education, but collaboration should be done with coaches (Buses). Lastly, like fine wine, great lessons need time to develop. A very concise, simple talk that was very powerful and creative.
