- I am a long-time educator in Eugene, Oregon.
I am the host of the XO group on Clrm 2.0. Please check us out!
I am a on the board of directors of Springboard Innovation, which operates OUTSIDE the k-12 sphere. Interesting mission, important aims - Springboard focuses on informal youth education and community development through education. Please visit: www.learninginnovation.org
What occupies me lately? I just wrote a book with coauthor Suzie Boss titled "Reinventing Project-Based Learning: Your Field Guide to Real-World Projects in the Digital Age"
We are excited about the promise of pbl and professional learning in the web 2.0 era, where important learning functions (collaboration, learning anywhere, many more) are made possible through a myriad of new and emerging tools.
The book profiles teachers and classrooms from around the globe- each point we make is illustrated with a story of teachers and learners who are walking the walk and accomplishing great things.

Reinventing... all over the Web
Hi,
Suzie Boss and I wrote a book but I won't be shilling here! What we've found in the process of writing is that we're part of a larger conversation around the learning functions of digital tools. We're especially interested in project-based learning. Please consider joining the community of interest forming around "reinventing" the learning experience in these different environments:

I bought your book, Amazon says it’s on the way. I can’t wait. Thank you for allowing me to participate in your group today. I learned things about Terry that I didn’t know before. Our classes held several video conferences, we blogged regularly, we participated in the Landmark Games and we will join the Monster Project this September. It is amazing, when you realize that we only began January 2. We also participated in Voices of the World. We are the only school in Bridgeport (the largest city in Connecticut) that blogs or does any of these projects. For awhile I was the only class. I now have one other teacher who has joined in.
I get out to Oregon at least once or twice a year. My daughter is already making plans for us to beat our times in next years Butte to Butte. I will definitely look you up when I get out there.
I’d like to pick your brain after I read your book. I hope you don’t mind.
Regards,
Bob Greenberg

I'm a friend of Terry Smith's. I teach in Bridgeport, CT. We've been collaborating with Terry's class. Our blog is http://thebrainwaves.us. Small world, my daughter lives in Springfield, my son-n-law graduated from the Univ. of Oregon. I just returned from two weeks at Hayward field for the Olympic Trials. We also ran the Butte to Butte on July 4th. I'll be joining your session tomorrow.
I just sent you a friend request. Daniel Rezac. I'm a teacher 2.0 in Chicago working on my master's and need some questions answered about curriculum development. I see that you are a PBL queen, so maybe you'd let me interview you for my field study? Any help would be great!
Thanks

Thanks for the welcome! I am a technology teacher in Northern Canada. I am interested in open source and educational software. I am also actively working on the open source project called Nikamo. Nikamo is used for teaching human languages and was originally designed to help preserve aboriginal languages. I am also looking to network with others who may be interested in language teaching and language preservation.

Unfortunately, my computer is being updated and they did not finish today. I will not be able to join the session in 2nd life. I hope we can meet and chat at NECC.

Thanks for the great welcome. It's nice to know that the CR2.0 still hass a personal touch.
I'm into instructional design and rapid e-learning at the moment. I'll drop by often and see what's up with you and the rest.
