So one of the reasons I’ve had no time to blog of late (or read for that matter) is that life is getting crazed once again. Seven weeks off goes much too quickly, but I’ve gotten into some very cool projects that I hope to blog about in short order.
Meanwhile, in case any one is interested, here is the link to the presentation that Rob Mancabelli and I did at FETC on Friday. I’d be really interested in any reaction from those of you that might listen and watch (sort of) it.

Will, any chance you can make this available as an MP3/OGG file for non-Mac-junkies to listen to?
With appreciation,
Miguel
I only have what you have, Miguel. This was done by the Apple folks at the conference. I’ll ask them if they have different formats.
FYI, Will, I found this podcast so timely for my school that I blogged a linked timeline and outline of it I made while listening.
If I misrepresented you, let me know and I’ll edit.
It’s at my blog, Beyond School, http://burell.blogspot.com/2007/02/notes-and-linked-timeline-for-will.html
FYI, Diigo has some cool things coming. Stay tuned, or better yet, give them suggestions at their forum. Very responsive folks.
As I was at FETC but couldn’t attend EVERY session, I was happy to have this session to listen to, so thank you for this. I do think the idea that many students need to think, reflect and prepare before they contribute is an important concept. I can think of many adults who should be spending more time thinking before speaking.
After years of teaching teachers how to use technology, I learned early on that many teachers must understand why a certain “technology concept works” and “how-to-do-it by myself” attitude and practice BEFORE they step into the classroom is a lesson that most presenters and teachers of teachers must wrap their mind around. So, the idea that teachers must find meaning in their individual lives FIRST is still critically important.
Personal learning is essential for teachers using Web 2.0!

Listen to the podcast today and really liked Rob’s analogy about walking and travel as a way to describe web 2.0. It’s one I hadn’t heard before. I’m going to take that and develop it further because I think it’s the best analogy I’ve heard and the further I think about it, the more it has great parallels.
I think Rob was with you last year at FETC and had supper with us. I also remember you saying something about him needing to blog…from my research I’m not sure that’s happened. He needs one.
