Thanks for posting the video and allowing us a window into the conversation. The conference seems very engaging and interesting. I do like that there were some students involved in some of the other conversations.
As I watched the camera pan around your workshop, it occurred to me, however, that the participants seemed to be of a familiar type at these conferences: white.
It made me wonder if technology is bringing people of different races and socio-economic status together for innovation or isolating us further from each other? (The digital divide). It’s not an indictment of this conference, or any other conference, but something that rarely comes up in conversations, it seems.
And it should.

(It is also possible that there were many other faces outside of my field of vision)

Again, thanks for the video post, Will.

Will,
Thanks for the forum to discuss the social networking conversation. I feel as though we need to have more conversations like this… guided, but people oriented.

I enjoyed being a part of your session from my home office. I found the discussion engaging and refreshing along with the live chat.

Thanks for posting this. I’m glad I got to see it because I enjoyed the Twitter discussion. As a new Twitter, I wanted to know more about it.

Thanks for posting this. Had EduCon been in Philly 2-3 years ago, I would’ve been able to attend. Now, as a fulltime orchestra director in a rural very “by-the-books” school, they wouldn’t give me a conference day for something “out of my field”.
It was great to look in and hear some of the things I’ve thought about as an educator in this time period.

Thanks for posting this. The debate is engaging. As Kevin H. was struck by the racial uniformity, I was struck by all the gray hair (i.e. digital immagrants). What’s up with that? Where are all the digital natives and what are their ideas?
