Back home – ideas, ideas!
Arrived back home late last night. The weather is rainy and cold …but I have my coffee.
As stated during our presentation I am posting a url for Tom Welch’s site: www.twelchconsulting.com It is always great to be able to work together with Tom. The Virtual Learning Magnet project is an awesome endeavor that I’m looking forward to hearing more about.
Lots of good impressions from the conference. I enjoyed presenting even though we had to introduce and discuss technology sans the technology….
Above all though, it was great talking to so many interesting people afterwards. In the next days I will make some posts relevant to the discussions I took part in.
I was struck how everybody seems hungry for ideas about how we can better reach our students in the DL format. It definitely can be challenging! But there are many success stories that we need to constantly remind ourselves of. Here is one.
Idea: Perhaps we could compile a list of such stories that anyone could access with the click of a mouse. In DL we are helping break down geographic barriers that have been obstacles to learning for too long. I think that we need to continue working on getting the word out about the inspiring stories of many of our students. Let me know if you have a story that you would like to share!
