Maybe I should get sick more often??(or just slow down a bit??)

Still stuck in my chair ….. but
This has given me a great opportunity to reflect on some of the possibilities.
Right now I am listening (watching and sharing in) to a meeting at Yokohama International High School run by Brian Lockwood who I connected with via Twitter earlier this week.
The pre-reading was the first 12 minutes of
Clay Shirky \”Here Comes Everybody\”
I think this is a good one to show teachers around collaboration possibilities and the changes in Society.
It is over now (I could hear the bell go!) and in some ways was quite inconsequential like lots of human interactions. It was just as if I was in the room for their meeting. It put me in touch with their wikis and even the program for the weekend conference they were preparing for. Certainly interesting, somewhat surreal and much cheaper than flying to Japan!!
Brian and I chatted for about five minutes on Skype afterwards. This gave me a good chance to connect with him a little more and understand the details of their rather big Professional Development weekend. They used membership of a Ning as a way of enabling people to book in for workshops for the weekend. A good idea we might try!
