One day, I was working with my year 12 class in a small room at school that we call the "pod". When I noticed skype flash up to indicate someone was talking to me. That person was you as you were registering the names of students who were going to participate in the ms1001 tales global project. I also remember soon after you coming in to our library interactive white board (using the Bridgit conferencing tools),sharing your laptop screen with us,using skype for videoconferencing and talking to us about life in Canada. It was snowing at the time, and the next day we had a video from you, embedded in a wiki, showing the extent of the snow. Several months later, I was so excited to be asked to teach students at one of your Canadian schools about Australia using skype. Although I cant get to Memphis, I can read about, revisit my own personal memory lane, and say thank you, to you, for taking me, my classes and school on the start of an incredible journey into the power that online technology can bring to education. We have just gone on and on to more amazing adventures. Thanks, Jeff! Hey Jeff, you have taken me down memory lane too.
