VIVA LAS VEGAS!

Viva Las Vegas!

Here in Las Vegas for the Teachers Pay Teachers Conference and have met some awesome teachers!  This morning we had an opportunity to network with other secondary teachers from around the nation.  One of these great teachers gave me a wonderful idea:  Mailing flyers to High School Social Studies department chairs about my TPT page.  Wow, why didn't I think of this? Thanks for the inspiration.

Looking forward to my first session entitled "From Teacher to Teacherpreneur"  Erin Cobb from Lovin Lit will be presenting during this session.  I hope to pick up some good ideas and some inspiration.

Also some little known facts about Las Vegas (After all I am social studies teacher)

1. In 1980, a Las Vegas hospital had to suspend workers who were betting on when patients would die. One nurse was even accused of murdering a patient so she would win.  Hey, this is Las Vegas...

2. In some Asian cultures, the number 4 is thought be bad luck. For that reason, some hotels in Vegas have no floors that start with the number 4.  Another reason to understand cultural differences.

3. Michael Jackson had plans to build a 50 foot tall moon walking robot replica of himself to roam the Las Vegas desert. It was intended to be an advertisement for a planned 2005 comeback.  WOW!
