Same conference and the conversations turned, surprisingly to blogs (first time I've talked about them in a professional setting). David Thornburg is the head of the Thornburg Center which " is the premiere source of presenters and staff developers in the field of emerging technologies and their impact on learning at all ages". He is advocating, among other things, the establishment of blogs in schools so that learning 'swarms' can occur. This can facilitate self acquisition of knowledge in a very exciting way rather than the current passive reception (which, incidently, has its roots in the Middle Ages).
