I'm just now getting around to listening to some of the podcasts. I want to listen again to Will's. I certainly am inspired by his insight into learning and how it can be empowered by the conversation and connections that are made. The wiki for the podcast is at http://handitinnecc.wikispaces.com/. What a great experience NECC was. There's a picture of the skype chatters here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/janstearns/842692872/ I certainly enjoyed the NECC experience. It was great to talk with you and hang out at the blogger's cafe and elsewhere together! Thanks for the comment, Barbara. I’m just now getting around to listening to some of the podcasts.

It was the best talk I have heard him give...raising the stakes and my understanding to a whole new level. Thanks for reminding me about Jeff's post...reading it after listening to the podcast added depth, some new links and saved me from going back to get some of the stats from the talk. In addition to the many things mentioned in the skype chat I was struck by the section on modeling life long learning. Will stated it in a profound and new way...I think every teacher needs to hear this talk. I wish there was a video cast because unless they listen to podcasts already it is hard to keep peoples attention with only and audio feed. I just listened to the podcast of Will’s talk!
