k12onlineconference “Elluminate” session October 29, 2006

I just participated in an international conversation with about 30 – 40 people using Elluminate. Messages were passed by voice, text, whiteboard and even video. I actually “met” some people who I had heard about or read their blog. Catching up with other people I haven’t corresponded with for some time as well. It started at 1:00am local time and finished a little over an hour later at 3:20am (Daylight saving kicked in).
An interesting conversation was held about many topics and it was great to see that the apathy I experience here in Melbourne about Web2.0 technology seems to be the same all over the world. There seem to be just a few interested teachers and we need to bring many others along for the journey. Much like Jules Verne in Paris in 1870.
More about that in my next blog entry …
Off to bed right now. Good night.

Hi Joseph,
I just watched/listened to the fireside chat – sorry I missed it live ( I was playing hockey on Saturday afternoon) it sounded like a very interesting discussion – I agree that sometimes the apathy you get locally seems deafening, I was interested in what Terry said that if you can get just one colleague to see the potential that is good!!!! I hope that the response will be better than that.
