So I was once at teacher for GECDSB - for a short time. Grew up in the area too. During the one year I taught at PEPS I took many PD courses from you. That was almost ten years ago now and I can still find my Canada-Japan webquest online. Talk about cutting edge stuff ten years ago! I very much enjoyed the PD back then so thanks for the learning. As it turns out, in this small world, I found your blog on the blog of one of my classmates in the MA program at the University of Calgary: thinking in mind by Neil Stephenson. So, here I am, educating in Calgary, working on an MA and finding people from the past who helped me with my educating! Cheers Doug! Chris Hi Doug.

I, too, am amazed daily by what exists and what potentials are inherent within them. As my Twitter network grows, I too, have realized the power of collaboration and have been welcomed whole heartedly to discussions without prejudice. The students feel this, too, the digital learnings space is strong! Well put, Doug. I, too, am amazed daily by what exists and what potentials are inherent within them.

Great day, overall by the way – thanks for all the hard work.

I learned a lot and came away with a lot of reflection.

I just posted part one of my reflection on my blog in regards to the stylings of David Jakes – http://wp.me/pJ4jF-h

Later, I am going to post some of the more useful web 2.0 tools and gadgets that were discussed along with some usages for each in the classroom.

We`d meet twice a year in Sudbury to talk tech, share ideas and exchange thoughts. These were some of the best PD sessions I attended as we shared many of the same thoughts and ideas. I think the group has since disbanded which is a shame because there really was a need for these regular get-togethers.

Between the geography of where I live and being on leave this year, having access to the ideas and suggestions of such a forward-thinking bunch has helped me think about my return to school in many new ways. It is very true what you say - the group is flexible and open and the participants are always willing to answer questions. It also helps that some express their feelings about being the "only one" trying to move forward. Knowing that makes it much easier to envision the future in my own classroom.
