I just happened upon this blog, and find it most fascinating... as we are trying to make the leap from a traditional style with computers to more radical e-learning, while at the same time staying experiential/ relationship based.... I'll be interested in continued dialogue about how to do this.... Look forward to reading more of your blog! ARK Your points 3 and 4 resonate with me!

My brain is buzzing from so much learning. The combination of Edubloggercon East and BLC is almost too…

I was fortunate enough to see both the first and the last, and a colleague of mine attended the second. You made an impact on people at all three, for what it's worth. :-) Anyway, my brain is full as well. I am challenged to bring what I learned at BLC08 into my life and work. I left BLC08 inspired. I still feel this way, and I am working to put what I've learned into action one small step at a time. Thank you for your sharing your thoughts.

I too am saturated and still percolating the new learning. Being in the classroom with students has made it hard to write about but I have been able to put some of the new ideas to work and it has been powerful. The kids are taking to the tools and running with authentic learning.(taggalaxy has been a favorite) It was pure chance that you, Rick, Jenny, and I sat on that shuttle together headed to Alan's pre-conference. That first meal set the stage for collaboration that continued the entire week. I miss chatting and processing with you but will continue to follow your path as I hone my own skills on mine. Thanks for this post, great reminders and the license to wait to say that which is important as we all continue to make a difference to kids. Peace.

The people that I click with in my online network I tend to click with F2F. It's powerful. Time needs to be set aside for meaningful conversation. I believe someone has echoed that on Chris Lehmann's post about at <a href="http://www.practicaltheory.org/serendipity/" title="Educon 2.1" rel="nofollow">Educon 2.1</a> that the social time to reflect and discuss together in an informal setting is just as important if not more important as the structured setting. It was fantastic meeting you face-to-face. Lisa Dave,
