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!
