Thanks for blogging our session. We're excited about the collaborative projects we've heard about in NECC sessions and in casual conversations. Now, if only that kind of learning experience can become the norm instead of the wonderful exception. Best, Suzie Wes,

You are most welcome. I'm fortunate at present to have many opportunities to travel and attend conferences at this point. I'm glad to share. It's the only we we can hope to stay "sort of" caught up with our students and the other changes in society! Thanks Simon! You are most welcome.

Sometimes I feel trapped in my classroom, in desperate need of inspiration or PD or whatever. Then your notes, along with others pop up on my feed and I feel my learning is no longer taking a back seat to my teaching, so thanks. Hi Wes,

Thanks for both sharing their del.icio.us usernames and this method, as well as joining that session via Skype yesterday from Ankara! I was in Ankara in 1986 for a brief time (as well as other parts of Turkey) and just fell in love with your country, its people, your rich history, and wonderful food! I can't wait to take my own family to Turkey someday. It is really eye opening to just catch a glimpse of the power of global collaboration via events like yesterday and your blog comment.... It's wonderful to have a "web 2.0 teachable moment" shared by an educator like yourself who traditionally in an earlier, I likely would have never met or been able to have this conversation together.

Thanks for such thorough session notes. I agreed with your comment about the del.icio.us accounts, and used a trick I show my students: look at who else has bookmarked a key site (in this case, Jane and Suzie's blog). Presto! usernames: suzieboss, jkrauss . Wes, this is Tom from Ankara, Turkey. Thanks for such thorough session notes.

His session notes are very thorough (as always) and the information provided makes a powerful case for the value of PBL (with and through technology) as a valid and effective instructional method. I would argue that based on current research on how kids learn (along with the skills and knowledge needed for success today and tomorrow in the workplace), that PBL is incredibly vital for today’s learners.

I think this book by Suzie and Jane has taken a fresh approach to PBL.....just wondering whether it needs a better title and whether Project Based Learning as a term in itself may turn some educators off...just thinking out loud on a busy conference day.
