I could have spared myself the anxiety. Once the Academy began, it took on a delightful life of its own, hardy enough to survive every one of my mistakes. All I had to do was get out of the way, which I was very glad to do. UMW faculty, students, and ITSs contributed excellent presentations and poster sessions, while our three guest speakers&#8211;Diana Oblinger, Bryan Alexander, and Brian Lamb&#8211;challenged our assumptions and enlarged our vision with wonder, delight, and of course information. (Information technologies, after all.)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be reflecting on the experience in more detail in the days ahead, but I want to begin with a photo to complement <a href=\"http:\/\/careo.elearning.ubc.ca\/weblogs\/brian\/archives\/011822.html\">Brian Lamb&#8217;s shot of the In-N-Out Burger<\/a> where he, <a href=\"http:\/\/infocult.typepad.com\">Bryan<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/learning.richmond.edu\/blogs\/kevin\/\">Kevin Creamer<\/a>, and I ate on the night we all met for the first time, at the NLII meeting in San Diego in January, 2004. This photo shows Bryan, me, and Brian at Carl&#8217;s, a Fredericksburg landmark that serves extremely tasty soft ice cream made in vintage mid-1940s &#8220;Electro-Freeze&#8221; machines. Note Bryan&#8217;s new cell phone, a recursion device he used frequently during Faculty Academy.<\/p>\n<p>A theme emerges: exotic local dining spots. What will come next? (Or: where shall we three meet again?)<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gardnercampbell.net\/blog1\/wp-images\/bryangardnerbriancarls.jpg?w=584\" align=\"center\" alt='three amigos' \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It can&#8217;t be two weeks since I was fretting about Faculty Academy on Instructional Technology 2005.
