You're a keynoter! Makes sense to me. I enjoyed this slideshow but just as it should, it merely illustrated (and punctuated!) your talk (I mean that microsoft slides, sidesplitting!). Next time get the film crew teed up, OK? :)

This talk was excellent and definitely prompted some new thinking / connections on my part!

As we move away from traditional publishing and embrace collaborative knowledge-building, how will the concepts of authorship, copyright, plagiarism, and "intellectual property" change? On a practical note, how will we cite works that evolve so rapidly that a "retrieved on [date]" becomes a mere snapshot of an already-outdated reference? (Electronic citations are increasingly complicated as it is!)

How will we capture the evolution of an individual's ideas?

These kinds of questions keep me up at night...I doubt that anyone has the answers at this point, but perhaps there are some discussions or trends regarding intellectual property, both in concept and practice.

How do we get school districts to buy into this? We as educators are understanding exactly what you are saying, yet schools are shutting down video streaming and blocking websites so much we can't even execute a lesson plan that integrates technology!

Thanks for putting this up Steve. The talk was great and generated a lot of discussion amongst our teachers.
