I'm convinced I am only exploring the tip of an iceberg. If anyone else is interested what we are beginning to do with it is being explored at www.skypetalkandwrite.wikispaces.com Skype Talk and Write’s potential, I am convinced has far from beinig realised.

I know this is something we can take for granted today, but it never ceases to amaze me. Vejraska, I am hoping to attend and present at the <a href="http://www.more.net/conferences/mitc/index.html" rel="nofollow">MOREnet conference in October</a>, so perhaps we can connect there! I do wish we didn't have so many edtech conferences in early February. I didn't realize METC was the same week as TCEA, our OTA (Oklahoma Technology Association) conference is also that week, as it was this year. Simon, I'm interested to hear more about skype talk and write. I haven't used interactive whiteboards in many constructive ways for online learning in the past, but that is probably because of my own ignorance in how they can best be used. I saw a few weeks ago that the 3.0 version of Skype for Windows supports many new plug-ins, and some of the interactive whiteboards (perhaps "talk and write") looked intriguing.

I wish I said a little more time to organise my thoughts. Over here in New Zealand we are discussing and developing Skype Talk and Write, organising what curriculum impact it can have on regular and smaller schools. It would have been good to discuss its contextual application with such an audience as the TCEA. Maybe I'll await the K12 online conference and sign up for a presentation there. I agree with you with the edublogosphere. Sometimes it makes me realise how much I don't know and how much i need to play catch up. I don't know who said it but they were right: "If you knew you knew nothing that would be something, but you don't." How many educators are missing out because they have not become part of the conversation? Too many. Wow, TCEA? they are getting themselves so organised.

I was really hoping to meet you at METC 2008, but that is scheduled for the same dates as TCEA! I am sure we will eventually bump into each other...perhaps in SL. I agree that it is hard to soak it all in at big conferences....they get me juiced up though, and then I can come home and connect on a deeper level to educators online, and at my own school. It's great to be able to discuss the most current ed tech issues, and then go have a catch with my son! Life if good! Oh rats!
