Dean, I like the idea of the linkable keynote. Allowing for breakout groups based on ideas mentioned in the keynote sounds very beneficial. It would allow more minds to share what they are thinking in relationship to the presentation. Chad Lehmans last blog post..WEMTA 2009 Recap

What I found particularly ironic about the wireless is that Cisco was a sponsor of the event. In talking with one of the conference organizers, I learned that the cost of enabling the wi-fi in the hotel for the conference. This seems to be a particularly poor choice on the part of the hotel. I expect wireless access at a conference and venues that fail to provide it will lose business to the places that will provide that at a reasonable cost. I understand the prophet at home phenomenon all too well, but at least the ideas do start to click when presented by the person from far away. Maybe people can pair up to present to each other's staff. I'm available if you need me, Dean - just let me know what you want me to say.

Dean, I have to say it was a thrill to tune in to your panel keynote live, sitting at my teacher desk downing my pb&j - thanks to Alec's video stream. Very cool, and oh so encouraging and uplifting to see and hear you all. Thank you. Mark Ahlnesss last blog post..Staying even

Figures, the first year in awhile that I miss this conference and Clarence Fisher and David Warlick were both there. Heather Rosss last blog post..Doomed By Our Love For the Drive-through?

That looks a lot like Winston's Pub in Saskabush. Not a bad place to hold a summit. D'Arcy Normans last blog post..wpmu activity reports using the blog_activity plugin

Glad you posted this, Dean, and I agree that this was a terrific conference -- one I look forward to each year. I still think it was a mistake by the organizers to split the conference into k-12 and post-secondary streams. There were precious few post-secondary types there, and I would like to see more of our post-secondary educators exposed to these powerful ideas and presenters. The other thing I'd mention is that I really appreciated the wonderful people who were brought in from afar (Clarence, Darren and David were amazing), and I'm also quite proud that our own little humble province of Saskatchewan is so full of quality people doing exciting things. I won't single you folks out, but you know who you are. Richard Schwiers last blog post..When worlds collide
