Your sessions were engaging, lively, and information-packed. My mind was reeling during the 4-hour drive home. A power outage from a storm that just rolled thru has left me unconnected until I thought about my Palm Treo & thought I'd catch up on my RSS feeds. So here I am in a total blackout, at 3 AM, reading your blog. It seems when there's a power outage, I worry less about the food in the fridge than I do about remaining connected! Ah, technology!

Teachers love watching someone with passion and energy. You material was well researched and your presentations were chuck full of content. I appeciated the way you interacted and read your audience and "played" your presentation accordingly. I have seen my share of presentations, however, the way you clicked back and forth throurgh your slides, showed skill and knowledge. Your presentation in the use of mobile phone computing for the classroom was really out there and I found I had to do what you asked - ponder the issue and see if you think it's true. Ever since, I have been stretching and digesting what you had to say. I am looking forwarding to seeing you in action again.

It was nice to hear someone else concerned about the "permanent" record that our students are putting online. I'm thinking of developing a theme around it for next year when I introduce blogging to my class. Nice to finally meet you, sorry I couldn't come up early for the dinner on Thursday evening.

It didn't take long for the new about how great your presentation was to reach me--it really got people to challenge their thinking. I wish I could have been there!
