That would rock…count me in. How do we start…?

I think that’s a GREAT idea! Count me in too.

I’m in.

I think the additions you’ve made are important. Lookng at changing ideas of literacy is vital. I would also add ideas of sustaining change and collaboration.

I have the magic gift of “all the time in the world”. Seriously, if there’s a critical mass that are willing to brainstorm the idea of planning/throwing a conference seriously, I’m willing to do some heavy lifting and help make this work.

I can setup a wiki to brainstorm ideas if people are interested.

I’m in. It would be great to get together with others who are keen on this stuff and using it or think they see the potential benefits to learning. While I don’t have “all the time in the world” that John does, I’d be up for helping to make this work.

You can count me in on this. A conference I could actually attend!

That’s a very generous offer John! As soon as you set up the wiki publish the link, I’ll do all I can to help.

Ok kids. I’m starting to play a little bit. It’s still play…give me some time to tweak, but the more I’ve let this set it over the past few days, the more excited I get about it. Special nod to Will for putting the idea out there.

I just got a rejection letter from one of the new jobs I really wanted, so not I’m ready to kick some ____ and make this happen. :O)

http://shiftedlearning.org. It’s still very young. Be kind.

We need a wiki…

Ok - Looks like John has this covered - look at http://www.shiftedlearning.org

This is very exciting! The joke at CES was the best show was Dvorak’s virtual CES– and he wasn’t even there.

I think virtual conferences make a lot of sense. I hope that we’ll not only include visionary “pie in the sky” but also best practices for doing wikis, podcasts, etc. in real classrooms– everything from the structure of the lesson to the hardware for setting it up.

I’ll keep tuned in!
