This will be my main post and I’ll attach all my posts and the podcasts and various other links (eg fellow bloggers) when I can get back to it.
Right now I have to return to the classroom and cannot contribute to the ongoing dialogue as I want. I will, of course, be functioning in ways recommended by the summit within my own class and seek to work with others whenever possible.
Cheers, Al
