• Jen's Link: With K-12 Online, -> see http://k12onlineconference.org/ ... and Global Ed -> seehttp://www.globaleducationconference.com/schedule-gmt-6.html ... , we have seen lots and lots of examples of folks facilitating presentations. Drawing on our collective experience, let's share presentation ideas we like ... and the dreaded practices that should never again see the light of day. Some areas to consider: (a) asynchronous tools and strategies, (b) synchronous tools and strategies, (c) soliciting participant feedback (before, during, after), (d) the backchannel, and (e) posting for posterity (how, where, what?)
• John's Link: So yes, perhaps we did talk about Wikileaks last week. But it's a big story, and it might be worth another pass.It's interesting how the news media has stretched it, taking a little piece in each news cycle, with "new" revelations, and new scandals. Then, there's the issue of whether they're terrorists, the statements by Senator Lieberman, and (more importantly) the response from the host and DNS providers. Then, there's the whole (somewhat related) issue of the US Government seizing the domains of copyright criminals. Is the wild west finally being tamed? Is free speech on the Internet dead?

Elizabeth Helfant shared her amazing story of the MICDS first year
tablet program roll out.  This is an great discussion of the right way
to implement laptop learning in a school.  They started with teachers
and curriculum designers asking for more technology because the
curriculum had evolved to need the support.  If you've wondered about 1
