	Hi everyone, Excellent participation this week in the discussions, I'm very impressed! But let's try to ramp up the photoblogs. Giving the topic this week's topic quite a bit of thought will make it much easier for next week--possibly the most interesting, where we're going to ask you to design your ideal classroom. So really, really think hard this week about how you like to learn, both in and out of school. Also, I posted this on the discussions, but I'll repeat it here so everyone sees it... A couple people have asked about the audience you're presenting to, and this is my response: " Just to let you all know, the NECC website is http://www.iste.org/necc/ These are the teachers/officials we will be presenting these outcomes to. They're 10,000 or so people who are very interested in technology, and how it can be used to improve education. They may or may not have an interest in the student perspective, but we can hope that they do--the whole conference is structured around it (this year's theme is "student voices"). However, I think there is (and I imagine you'll agree) a large need for this kind of information outside of Canada/the US... Do you all have any ideas how we could take our final report/presentation for the project and bring it to the people around the world who need to hear? Or how you can each take some action on your own?" Thanks, and I hope this helps! I look forward to seeing MANY blog posts in the next few days!!
