I'm planning to use it at the Learning Technologies 2009 conference (#LT2009) next week - I sent my eight invitations to the other members of the planning committee so we can make it a really fun event. If you have another invitation on offer, I have a friend at work who would love to buy in!

Not sure how things are adjusted for time zone differences but contact Bugscope if you are interested in scheduling a session for your school or students.

My school is in its second year of a 1:1 iniative. We use collaboration frequently for student group work, student to teacher conversations and between teachers. We use Google docs for a lot of our work but the lag time is quite frustrating when trying to collaborate in real time. So for many of these projects, we've moved to Etherpad.com which is awesome in its real time capabilities but it is not very advanced in terms of options. Google Wave looks like an amazing collaborative tool that offers the best of both worlds and I am eager to try it. I have requested an invite from Google but have not yet received that invitation. I'm hoping one of your 12 would be able to be sent my way..... (grin) Thank you for the offer and for your blog. I've been following it now for several months and have found it really informative. Sincerely, Leanne Hi there,

I'm guessing things have probably been a bit rocky, and probably some teachers (and their students) have soared! I think it is one thing to equip a school and prepare for POD's to come and yet another to get teachers ready to use them effectively. Would love to hear how things are going? Dave Hi Kim,

May you find comfort in your memories and joy in knowing that your mom lives on through you! God bless!
