Dean's blog getting hype

Doc Searl's is discussing IT. Weinberger is too.  They seem to think the Dean campaign understands what it has... The obvious is they are getting good press -- but do they really know why?  And, does the press understand why?

Frank Field does a great job linking conversations related to the presentations yesterday. And, he captured the last part of the last discussion when my note taking tailed off...

Meanwhile, in Seattle

A couple of posts from the group indicates the trip went well, and that blogging is gaining momentum with the delegation.  This entry speaks tons about the potential impact of blogs...

Our meeting was most productive in terms of sharing ideas for future directions. We also discussed the overall conference experiences and next steps for the work of this grant. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this meeting was discussing what we can learn about technology use across the six university groups participating in this grant. I am especially interested in how technology is being used to facilitate field experiences for preservice teachers. It was time well spent talking with our colleagues. [Christine Thomas]

Anne Davis sums it up:

I feel good about what has been accomplished with the Georgia delegation.  We plan to continue keeping up with them and hopefully more grants like this one can be written.

When I went to the Intel session this morning, i had a number of session participants come up to me afterwards asking about weblogs.  Lots of them had been to Tim and Will's session on literature and blogging.  The interest is high! You can feel it in the air!

Good work everyone!  See ya next week!
