This is an audio version of a video podcast recorded from the eastern shore of Lake Michigan on April 20, 2007, following the Connecting and Collaborating Conference sponsored by Ottawa Intermediate Schools in Holland, Michigan. In this podcast I reflect on the nature of global collaboration, metaphors of waterways to digital highways, and the importance of leadership in identifying needs and marshalling resources to achieve shared goals. A participant from my afternoon workshop on podcasting in the classroom also shared his thoughts about how a visionary superintendent should lead their constituents into the 21st century, and that recording is also included at the end.
