I'm in Jenks, Oklahoma, hanging out with some really cool (and inspiring) people at Twitter Math Camp. So much cool my brain hurts halfway through day 2. For lunch, I had the pleasure of joining Justin Lanier, Dan Meyer, Sam Shah, and Julie Reulbach and listening to a discussion about blogging. We were talking about a way to get more people introduced to the MTBoS and expose others that have created some incredible things that we don't know about.
I shared a person I've recently stumbled into online, Dane Ehlert, as an example. I don't remember how, but I saw his twitter handle, checked out his blog, and was floored with how much great work was hiding there. I say hiding because, to my knowledge, his work hasn't been shared.
Then Dan called me out.
"John, you have a readership on your blog, right? Have you talked about him? Have you shared his work?"
Nope. Until now.

So Dane doesn't tweet much (yet), doesn't follow many (yet), and doesn't have a ton of followers (yet). But his work is worth seeing and chewing on. Take a look at his site. On there, he has incredibly rich 3-Act tasks and math parody lyrics to introduce with students, among other nuggets of "OHHHH YEAHHH".
My goal is to interact more with him and learn from him. Thanks for contributing to the betterment of math instruction everywhere, Dane.
