I'm sitting in a lovely auditorium at the University of Mary Washington, reveling in being at a conference where I am not a host (and reveling no less in the power outlet right here in the arm of my seat and the no-fuss wireless access… cool… if I had a tropical drink it would be just like a vacation!). Cyprien's showing us stuff I had no idea Flickr could do, and explaining stuff that I knew it could do but couldn't work out how.
I've also seen the neat stuff faculty here are doing with their courses. Wikis, blogs, digital storytelling, moviemaking — it's all here. The faculty are sharing the process, the ups and downs, what worked and what didn't, all with frankness and humor. There's a fantastic atmosphere of support and a willingness to learn from each other that's wonderful to see. I'm thrilled and honored to be a guest here.
Take a look at the conference blog — we're writing it as we go!
Thanks for the endorsement, Rachel. Don’t forget to highlight your own impressive contributions to the conference.
Conveniently enough, others have done so on the conference blog already, so I am relieved of the burden ;-)
Can we do this again, tomorrow? What fun, and how wonderful it was to work closely with you and learn intensely from you for two days. It felt j u s t l i k e f l y i n g.
Count me in! (So that’s what flying feels like!)
