This really tells a story. Where do you gather all those old clips? They look like good, high quality clips. I'm glad @lthumann tweeted about it this morning when I happened to pass through.

For me, a key point drawn from your presentation was the recommendation to "focus on HOW the new tools guide student learning rather than the 'coolness factor' of the tools themselves." This important "take away" can imprint the focus of future courses. I agree that the real challenge is not learning to use the tools. Rather, the challenge (and innovation) is discovering how to best facilitate LEARNING using the tools. Wouldn't it be powerful to have educators keenly focused on HOW to best use <insert name of Web 2.0 tool> to deepen and accelerate student learning? Now, THAT is a course I'd like to take! Thank you for sharing with us! I learned from you!</insert> Really enjoyed the entertaining and informative presentation, Alec.

Video may be part of it, depends a lot on individual interests. I hope to push everyone beyond their current abilities. :-) @Stephen: Looking forward to having you in the next round.

I think David F. has me enrolled in your class for the winter session. I can't wait and I'm terrified at the same time. Will I have to do stuff like that? Thanks for the laugh! Hi Alec,
