Max Ray-Riek: Ignite

Retirement is treating me well. So far I've
  • cut my hair!
  • joined a gym and now go there with my husband and younger son on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays - slowly I'm learning their routines - some things I can't do yet but it's a process!
  • agreed to continue working with PCMI TLP (Park City Mathematics Institute Teacher Leadership Program) for at least two more years so that we can fully transition the archiving I started in 2001. 
  • finished Hidden Figures (for me that book took more undivided attention than I could normally manage - so full of interesting details).
  • been helping Annie promote the CMC-South and (soon) the CMC-North Ignite YouTube videos from late October and early December -- all on the CMC YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/cmcYouTube
This morning I stumbled across Max's Ignite video from October 24, 2014 and I watched/listened to the full 5 minutes and then decided to tweet the link in case other folks found themselves with 5 leisure minutes on a Saturday morning/afternoon. Then I thought, I should gather all of the Ignite links of Max's that I know about and put them all on one page for handy referencing. Max has such interesting, valuable, and useable things to say about learning. 

Enjoy!
