		<title>Kim Cofino: Culture Shock and the Future of Education</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a conference regular I get to take in lots of keynotes. I’ve heard some good ones, a few great ones and, thankfully, only a couple of very poor ones.

		<title>Filled the tank in Memphis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am in the air over West Virginia winging my way home from my sixth trip to Memphis and Lausanne Collegiate School’s Laptop Institute conference. It’s an amazing event and holds a lot of sentimental value for me as well. It was at my first LI in 2006 that my ideas about teaching and learning [...]]]></description>

		<title>Summer to Relax? Never!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After an especially hectic summer in 2010, I had expected that this year could be a relatively quiet year. (Un?)fortunately, that is not shaping up to be the case.

		<title>Down to the Wire</title>

		<title>Connecting to Learn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love learning. Part of that learning takes place at conferences. For me they have real benefit; the conversations recharge my batteries and the networking pays huge dividends as I add to my Personal Learning Network (PLN) and provide connections for collaboration and student projects.  I am excited to be heading across the border again [...]]]></description>

This summer I was introduced to WatchKnow, a [...]]]></description>
