Does anyone know where the different video streams from the conference are? I would like to review a couple of the keynotes and the presentations.

I was at the Thursday morning workshop and found it wonderful. Before this I did not really see the point of a Twitter and wondered why anyone would use one, but with seeing it used as a way to really communicate with others that have the same interest in technology in the classroom I was sold. All I need to do now is start getting involved in this communication........Thanks

I was one of the (four?) science teachers from Wed's session 4 workshop. I teach 5th, 6th, and 8th grade at an independent girls' school in Philadelphia. Here's my class site -
One fellow science teacher from today was an old college buddy whom I hadn't seen in 10 years - small (though now better connected) world!

I am an Elementary School Principal with a strong commitment to working with parents and educators to connect with their children/students online. I facilitate the Coquitlam School District's One to One Wireless Writing project and regularly present to educators, parents, and students on Internet Safety and Parenting 21'st Century Learners.
I am really excited to expand my network and learning community with all of you.

I am a Education Specialist for the Department of Defense Schools in Georgia and Alabama - with focus on extending 21st Century teaching and learning in the "Schools for the Soldier's Child." Our plan is to build an online learning community of teacher leaders through the use of social networks. Because I am learning through the Classroom 2.0 network - I am positive this will work. We've created our own Ning - but I certainly want to point our teacher leaders to Classroom 2.0 as well! Any ideas on using social networking for widely disseminated professional development are welcome and appreciated!

Hello,
I am new to twitter and Classroom 2.0. I am a technology specialist at Wayland High School. We are starting a Journalism course this year and I am collaboratively teaching it with the purpose of putting content on line. We started an online student press publication, WSPN last year. This course will help give us time and resources to continue. Our link is :http://wspnlive.com/
Any input about online journalism would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to working and sharing with all of you.

Hi all,
I've been connected to @lizbdavis for a while, and recently to @lthumann just recently... these are two great people that are worth following!
My blog is Pair-a-Dimes for your Thoughts and my newest post is 'This my blog has taught me', a presentation I did this morning here at BLC08. I'm looking forward to my other presentations here: "Learning Conversations" and "I can do that without technology- no actually you can't".
Nice to 'meet' you:-)
Dave
