Thanks for the great summary of the education session. It's great to have notes from all the concurrent sessions so readily available around the blogosphere. In my field (libraries), we're grappling with a lot of the same issues around blogging that the education sector is working through, so these notes are really useful. BTW, on the danah boyd MySpace/Facebook class divide issue: I'm really interested in the idea of academic thought being published via blogs and the dynamics that surround the interaction of professional literature and professional blogs. When do you blog, and when do you write an article for an academic publication? As an aside, I attended an education.au seminar recently, at which danah boyd spoke. She did talk about the whole divide issue, and there are podcasts available. She mentioned that perhaps the class divide is not as relevant, or at least, operates differently, in the Australian context. Interesting stuff.

Yes, it was an excellent conference. As a former chalkie and education bureaucrat I found your notes on the education issues and examples fascinating. I do hope teachers will dive in more and help one another negotiate the very real but hopefully not insuperable challenges identified. And I hope that the resourcing of social media capability in schools will include some support for teachers to share ideas and experiences about how to engage as active bloggers.
