ntcamp is almost a week old and although the temperature in Philadelphia has cooled a bit, the conversation around ntcamp and providing the best resources for new teachers has increased. I want to personally thank each of our attendees and all of our engaging presenters. Each of you made ntcamp a success and the organization team cannot thank you all enough.

I would like to send a big shout out to all of our sponsors for their generous support and the Boys’ Latin Charter School for providing their great facility for the day. We have created a sponsors link page that will provide links to all of our sponsors great websites and we encourage you to check them out and spread the word. Another big thank you goes out to Rich Gonzalez for providing exemplary tech support throughout the day.

We have already started planning ntcamp 2011 and would like to hear your feedback about ntcamp 2010. Please take a few moments to fill out our survey and let us know how we can make ntcamp 2011 an even better experience.

Finally, I would like to keep this page active and provide the best resources for new teachers. I have created an ntcamp diigo group that all of you should join and share your favorite links. I also am seeking out guest bloggers for this site. If you have a post that focuses on new teachers or best practices please contact me so that we can set up a time to post your blog. If you would like to be a ntcamp guest blogger, please  contact me here.

Thank you all again for an amazing day of professional development and networking!
