28And Mark, I have solved the problem you gave me
in Austin. "How do you convey what is really
done in PLTW class so people understand it on an
8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper?"
The solution - You never gave me a unit, so if
we use an 8 1/2 foot by 11 foot sheet of paper I
think we can do it. And if that doesn't work, we
can use the piece of paper to roll the person up
like a burrito and cart them off to a PLTW
classroom so they can see it first hand. There
might be some kidnapping and other legal issues
with my plan, but if you are willing to take that
risk I will get you the piece of paper. )
