I think we'll meet for our hour this 3rd Tuesday even though our ISTE SIGVE Speaker Session is taking a hiatus for August. I also think we should do so in SL once more before, as planned, moving off into other platforms, the September meeting tentatively scheduled for ISTE Island 2 in ReactionGrid.
Mark your calendars, please, for August 17, 4 pm SL time, at the ISTE Island bandstand.
I want to thank everyone who's responded on Facebook and Twitter and email congratulating me on my new mission and employment. If you haven't heard, I'm now, as of today, August 2nd, "Virtual Learning Curriculum Specialist" at Metro Nashville Public Schools. It's a new position, created to support design, development, and implementation of a new Virtual School. I'm excited, determined, and ready to work. I'll sorely miss my young students at University School of Nashville, where I spent the past 14 years learning from them and helping them make sense out of technology and life; but this is going to be good, helpful work and I embrace its challenges and promise to do the best that I can.
Onward and upward! See you on the 17th!

Thank You, Jane Wilde!
Jane,
you as you know are largely responsible for our astonishing success. I hesitate to say that when we have another day (or, pleasantly, it feels like a half day) of sharing and learning, but I feel pretty confident we're onto a model that works. Maybe we can collaborate on a good long article L&L will pick up, or for some other venue. Extending the sharing of the sharing.
Today I'm out early at 8:30 for the panel discussion "Distance Learning Comes of Age" and I'll be sitting on the panel sharing our success very briefly as well as sharing some details of our successful distance event coordination. What's the name and venue for your paper in Toronto? I'd love to share that as well.
We'll debrief after your rousingly successful paper presentation. If you ever, and I mean EVER, need any help from me just hear that old "You've Got a Friend" song in your head and pick up your cellphone and just call on me.
Wow.
Much love from Denver and always everywhere,
Scott, and on behalf of SIGVE

Hi there Scott,
Wow! I am amazed by what we have accomplished in the past two days. We have had our share of "tech-happens." But even the variety of glitches have been interesting and kind of funny. I mean, what can you do when the basic building instructor can't log on, and even if she could wouldn't be able to rez stuff. (Note: This was due to a Linden Lab database issue that developed at the time of the final presentation by Cindy Burton on Tuesday).
So many of the presentations have been inspiring. The amount of content that has been shared in such a compressed time period has been awesome. Please share my appreciation with your volunteers.
Esme
