I just finished a marathon real-time blogging session at an interesting conference in New York, titled "Teacher 2.0 - Developing the 21st Century Workforce." http://www.edustat.com/

Nitin Julka, David DeSchryver and I blogged about many of the presentations, really fast! I also got to meet quite a few VIPs, including John Bailey, Senior Program Officer - National Initiatives Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; NBA star Kevin Johnson; Ken Kay Founder and Chairman, Infotech Strategies and President, Partnership for 21st Century Skills; and the highlight- former Xerox chairman David T. Kearns.

This was without a doubt one of the best conferences I have ever attended. If you ever get the chance to go-- take it.

I would love it if you would check a few of the posts out http://www.edustatblog.com/?author=16 and leave a comment or two on the site as well!

I think we are the perfect group to help push the thinking of the educational leaders that will be reading this site. I look forward to learning from your comments.

Sheryl,
When you complete your doctorate in educational planning, policy, and leadership at The College of William and Mary, do you think that you could set aside all the important contributions you are making from Alabama to Virginia to New York and elsewhere, as educator, consultant, and 21st-century leader, to become the next U.S. Secretary of Education? ;) On second thought, having a reputation for effectiveness and collaborative achievement in changing institutionalized mindsets and conventional ways of doing things as you do, unfortunately, may disqualify you for the position, which is usually filled by a politically deferent and safe candidate who can ably disguise a political agenda to look like educational reform.
The EduStat Summit 2007, Teacher Leaders Network (TLN), and your website and blog are excellent places to see leadership in action. Thanks for your contributions in those places and for enjoining the educators of CR2.0 to take themselves and what they do seriously in the movement to reform education to provide the key 21st-century skill: to know how to learn and keep learning for one's own and the common good.
I am humbled by your reply. Thank you. I hope you will take the time to make a comment or two over on the EduStat blog. I would personally love to read your responses.

Sheryl
Now Skip has an idea. I am so motivated and enlightened by reading posts and professional blogs by the members of this community. Why can't we elect our elect our own Secretary?
Thank you very much for good information on http://21stcenturylearning.typepad.com/

I admire the teachers who are doing good job using technology in teaching.
