This year I have met and enjoyed the company of Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach, David Warlick and Ewan McIntosh- I feel like I have struck the trifecta!<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/><BR/>AllanahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-221147792075613632.post-10926006929182503602007-10-31T21:44:00.000-04:002007-10-31T21:44:00.000-04:00Lisa,I'm glad you liked the DST stuff.

I'd be interested to see how you adapt the ideas to 5th graders. Also, I'm working on some more "visual vocabulary" ideas fo help make better stories. <BR/><BR/>Jonjorechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976226488938730607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-221147792075613632.post-12306802224321583452007-10-29T13:23:00.000-04:002007-10-29T13:23:00.000-04:00Couldn't agree more.

Without a doubt, the online connections are getting better and more powerful, but they just can't substitute for talking to people directly. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and for the record, Ppfpffffffftttt... Yes, I recognized your name! Recognized Christine's too, but not when introduced. It's funny how I recognize csouthard when it rolls across the screen, but not Christine Southard when she introduced herself to me f2f! <BR/><BR/>Really drives home the point that I need to start making sure I learn the names behind the nicknames as well.Teach42https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465609805314695592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-221147792075613632.post-86095271118274295802007-10-28T21:16:00.000-04:002007-10-28T21:16:00.000-04:00Lisa,It was great to connect with you and Christin...Lisa,<BR/><BR/>It was great to connect with you and Christine the other day, as well as Ryan, Steve, and David. While I field that question from teachers all the time ("will teachers be replaced by online tutorials?"), Friday proved the power of F2F meetings for me. I just dropped a tweet to that effect: twitter is changing for me now that I am meeting some of these people in person. I have a deeper interest in their thoughts, and their well-being. That cannot be a bad thing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08156784418545421424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-221147792075613632.post-25367698364018632852007-10-27T18:32:00.000-04:002007-10-27T18:32:00.000-04:00Okay once again I am going to say this.

But that is no consolation when I consider the twitter royalty you had fun with.

If it hadn't been for your presence in my network, I think I would have missed part of the experience.<BR/>I must say I like your UStream style. I really enjoyed it when you asked David to approach your screen and contact the chatters in the virtual room. You acted as a connector and not just as a camera or open window to the world. That moment made me think of the future of conferences. The backchannel wants to have a presence in the main room. Somehow, things are going in that direction.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing those exchanges during lunch. I don't know if you notice, but they could well make tweets, don't you think?<BR/><BR/>I do not think that f2f conferences will be replaced. We will probably choose where to go with a different criteria. Personally, I would choose places where I can meet part of my Twitter network.<BR/><BR/>Regards from Buenos Aires,<BR/>fceblog<BR/>(with apologies for the length of this!)Claudia Cerasohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303462904334693919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-221147792075613632.post-416536647829280482007-10-27T16:39:00.000-04:002007-10-27T16:39:00.000-04:00I totally appreciate what you wrote.

I didn't even know about the TechForum Conference until I saw a pjhiggins Twitter last week. I'll be happy to meet people in person someday. <BR/><BR/>I've only been a part of this for the last couple of months. The connections that I am making through blogs, twitter, and shows like WOW2 really take the feeling of isolation out of the classroom.<BR/><BR/>It must be amazing to have had the experience you had the other day. I'm jealous in a good way.Ann Orohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137060994986827867noreply@blogger.com
