Thanks, Graham for sharing your thoughts in real time. Interesting to hear about Barabara's concept of the "motherboard blog" communal space or portal, with an aggregation of feeds of latest posts from each member (with photo as identity). James took us on a journey back to the early days (e-mail and bulletin boards were pretty cool then!) in his relaxed style before enlightening us about presence (social, cognitive and teaching). Barbara was quite taken with James' idea of a "culture of forgiveness" in commnicating in the blogosphere. The power of Skype as a medium for conversations was borne out when Graham asked a question from the audience. James could probably only see a small screen, dim view of the audience and yet was able to detect that it was Graham's voice asking the question. "Is that you, Graham? No need for embarrassment; proves the power of social networking.

I did find the talks stimulating and good on you for blogging on it on the same day. Adelaide is indeed lucky to have some exceptional, world class bloggers like you, Al and a few of whom I have not met. We Adelaide bloggers (and teachers) must form a user group, as was suggested by Karen) to explore the possibilities of using blogs (also wikis and pod cast) in education. What I would like to see is some good, concrete examples of how blog can be used in the classroom, as examples to teachers. I know that some good work is being done by some teachers, with their students, in the class, especially in the primary schools. Keep up the good work. There are many silent readers like me, who do read your blogs but never submit any comments, This is my first comment to a blog, although I have read many thousands. Hi Graham,
