oh dear, the Chris Dede session earlier was very good and I am surprised that Andrew hasnt put it up yet - though he was ferociously networking at the end of it. But, oh dear, have found myself in a bit of a stinker here... I have turned up at session billed as "what would learning spaces look like where community is central tenet?", but so far all we see is pictures of brains, and a load of stuff about how the college was founded etc etc How not to do a session methinks. The folk on my table are all asking if we are at the right session, and many of us are looking at the (closed) doors.
Now we are being given Chickering and Gamson. I met Ken Panko just now, he has left Bradford and gone to Yale. Some of you will remember his visit when I kept calling him Donnie Darko. We are not getting many responses to the blog - are there any reasons for this?
the first speaker has now sat down, and now we are hearing about Dayton uni. Turns out it started out as a Catholic uni, and they are talking about communities of learning but in a Catholic context. This is starting to feel like punishment.
Maybe what we need is a decomposing pig.

a student told the conference that one of her most memorable learning experiences was watching a decomposing pig. it helped her understand what was going on in CSI. I feel old sometimes.
Kidz, this posting is an example of why DOPA is needed to protect baby boomer adults.
OK, time to comment. I'm liking the blog so far and have got some other comments to post. I've met Ken Panko - at an event about handhelds in Wolves that I went to with Matt Lownds.
