The interactive discussion really engaged us <em>and</em> gave us lots of new ideas for using blogs in our teaching and learning. The follow-up Skype conversation with both Barbara's and Sean allowed us to explore further some questions raised in the Elluminate session. Using Elluminate and Skype to connect with others outside our classroom really brought home the promise of these tools, when used appropriately. Thanks for a great session we're still talking about.
