Charles (Andy) Anderson - declined meeting but did send me some articles. 

Jere Brophy - talked a lot about motivation (one of my other interests).  He suggested I read his book as an overview and have me the syllabus for his course.  Talked a bit about Slavin as early in the field and suggested that I ready Sharon and Johnson & Johnson.  Also talked about the problem of group grading as a current topic in the field.

Raven McCrory - suggested I contact C. Anderson and C. Schwarz to talk about cooperative learning in science education.

Kelly Mix - Talked about many different concepts/theories including: Vygotsky, social construction, embodiment, group dynamics.  Suggested reading Being There Andy Clark Ch. 4 on Collective Wisdom;Dodge, K; Rogoff, B; Azmetia; Dodge; and Burke.  So generally I got a new perspective.

Including Creating Scientific Communities in the Elementary Classroom by Patty Jacobs, Maureen Reddy, Caryn McCrohon, Leslie Rupert Herrenkohl, and for inquiry: Inquiry and the National Science Education Standards: A Guide for Teaching and Learning by Steve Olson (Editor), Susan Loucks-Horsley (Editor).  Also suggested Brown, A and Featherstone.
