Hi questions. I went to the NAGC conference in the fall. The programming was interesting, but nothing earth shattering. It seemed mostly like preaching to the choir.
BUT it was a wonderful opportunity to talk to parents of other gifted kids about what's working for them and not working for them in a totally non-pretentious setting. I did get the feel that the parents I talked to had HG+ kids they were dealing with that needed major accomodations.
And the resources, games, books, puzzles etc were lots of fun to look at. We bought a few workbooks and a game. They were all very DS specific interests.
Last weekend we went to a GT resource fair, and DS7 walked up to a table and asked the woman working it if she had ever solved a puzzle she was selling. It was a maze in a cube with 2 balls that each needed to get to a certain spot. She said she had seen someone do it once, but she'd never done it. He solved the thing in 2 minutes. It was quite funny! Anyway - DS had great fun at the resource fair and he was dragging his feet all the way into it. He found something he wanted to bring home at every table. We held back to 1 game (In a Pickle - did someone recommend that on this board? Great game!) and a couple books for me.
