Thanks for mentioning my research on talking math. I'm now working in the area of science as well and have just completed a literature review with my colleague Michael Ford of a selected sample of the talking science in school literature. It will appear soon in the Review of Research in Education, Vol 30.

Should have remembered that, Jay! Kay's work, including her coding software, has been inspiring for me, much the same as Elice Forman's in maths. By the way, adding to the conference announcements, there's this one http://www.uow.edu.au/educ/research/LNL/workshop.html in my new home that I promise to report on, Mike! Maybe we need a "Conference Summary and Papers" link somewhere?
