Lisa, Maria and Sheila discussed the issue of dealing with a very "chatty" classroom, where the noise level is high but productivity is good. Later in the show, Diana Laufenberg, from the Science Leadership Academy in Philadelphia joined the conversation and talked a bit about Educon2.2.

Lisa and Maria enjoyed their 50th show.  They discussed the Bucket Fillers program and Educon 2.2.  Diana Laufenberg joined them for the conference discussion.  Sheila was on vacation this week and will be back next week.
