I was very pleased with the Teaching and Learning with Technology conference that we hosted last week. Gardner Campbell the keynote speaker gave a superb and thought provoking keynote speech. He spoke about keeping our imaginations open when it comes to instructional technology. You can hear a podcast of his speech on our conference website or on his blog. All of the presentations were engaging and I hope satisfying to the conference participants.
Another highlight of the conference, was making connections with instructional technology folks from other universities. There could be great collaborating potential with VCU, University of Mary Washington, Virginia Tech, EMU, Blue Ridge Community College, just to name a few. Perhaps, we could use the new and emerging social technologies to collaborate with the different schools. I think it would be interesting to keep in touch and bounce ideas off of each other as we support faculty in the every emerging world of technology!

I like the idea of a social network of these schools - sharing ideas and projects - networking. Andrea, set up a "ning" social space and see what happens.
My ETMC social network is not going too well - but then I was just trying to get the "hang of it"!
