<\/p>\n

A visual pun (or puzzle for shining morning faces)–and one of the few things I have time to post tonight. The joke is inside but may strike a chord for those of us at the final general session at ELI 2008. I have a good deal to say, and consider, regarding that session. But that anon.<\/p>\n

For now, a quick note to say I’m back home, the flights were fine (American Airlines on my good list–let’s hope it’s a trend), and the meeting was a real corker this year. You could hardly get to the coffee and danish for all the talent, conversation, and creativity. I felt buoyed up by the energy of folks I knew, folks I was just meeting, and folks like Henry Jenkins, George Siemens, and Michael Wesch whose work I had followed for a long time but whom I met at the conference for the first time. I got to facilitate a discussion of Innovations in Faculty Development with a dynamic roomful of Learning Circle attendees. I got to eat delicious food with longtime colleagues and help out with the final assembly of the Citizen Journalist movie summing up the conference. I got to share two star students with a great set of committed educators. Bountiful opportunities in every direction–and with a broad and diverse range of people.<\/p>\n

Something like real school, that is.<\/p>\n

I have much more to say, but it will have to wait. In the meantime, I am deeply grateful to be part of this community. And I can hardly wait for next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
