BLC11 Tweets
@ProfessorMike1
#BLC11 all done with presentations. Need to close Tweetdeck, turn phone off and start processing everything.
@AngelaMaiers
My initial reflection from #BLC11: Thinking, passion and curiosity cost nothing to implement and cost immeasurably when ignored
@MacPrincipal
Back to the office after #BLC11. inspired to make 2011-12 best yet!
@jborchard
Ready to begin a grass roots campaign of change in Paterson. One classroom at a time. Let the liberation begin! #blc11
@alasmedia
Like Red Bull, #BLC11 has wings!
@RealGaryBall
My brain is full like a warm can of coke. Please don’t shake me #BLC11
@sewilkie
You can feel "it" building in the air - something unbelievably provocative is about to unfold at #blc11
@Braddo
Waiting for flight, pondering #BLC11. One key message: Ed 1.0 = problem solving; 2.0 = problem-based; 3.0 = problem-finding
@debakelley
#BLC11 was/is one of the best Ed conferences around. I always come away with plenty to fuel my new school year.
@frankwmood
Thanks to all @nlearning and presenters for great #BLC11 conference and most stimulating thoughts I have had in 15 yrs.
@iateachr
Finding it hard to wind down after such an inspiring week filled with #passiondriven educators at #blc11. Brain is on overload still!
@MyTakeOnIt
Ironically, the best keynotes are those that are so engaging, I can’t take notes. #BLC11

@jutecht
Have coffee and ready for #blc10 to start. How @globalearner gets these keynoters I'll never know.
@jwindsor
Another successful #BLC10 has come & gone. Thanks to @globalearner and the @nlearning staff for their hard work & inspiration.
@mswine
Plan to unpack today both the suitcase and the mind! Thanks #DENLC10 & #BLC10
@jutecht
#BLC10 My brain hurts and I'm loving it. Keynote blowing my mind!
@dschoening
Maybe the biggest message learned from this conference is that idea of being a contributor, not just a consumer. #blc10
@ssibberson
Just registered for #EduCon. Can't wait to go. Just was "wowed" at #BLC10 and now this. My learning will be on overdrive.
@rstrean
I heard so many great ideas at #blc10 today but lack the brain power to process them all. If only Moore's Law applied between my ears.
@gregkulowiec
Can't sleep! Excited, up & ready to head back to Boston for #blc10. Imagine if our students felt this excited about school. I think they can
@MollyMGoodman
#BLC10 was amazing. When asked why a district Dir. Of PR would come to this, I felt the answer was obvious: Why wouldn't I? Good stuff!
@lloydcrew
"What's the problem, let's solve it...I love that attitude!" Alan November #blc10
@KarenLeFever
Glad to be back in Boston again at #BLC10. My mind is popping already... imagining new ways to integrate technology in education.
@bhsprincipal
@johnoldham30 @thanks2teachers I sincerely believe that many admin have no idea #blc10 exists. They need to get on here and get up to speed
@suludavis
@h011y Finished the Marco Torres workshop today. I came to #BLC10 to sit at the feet of the gods, and today I have been blessed.
@Braddo
Back home after #blc10 Head so full of ideas it exceeded the allowable weight limit for carryon.
Some testimonials
"I've attended many conferences since I entered teaching in the '70s but BLC was the most inspiring and idea producing conference ever. Usually conferences have keynotes which I skip but at BLC11 I was wowed by the keynotes. Marco Torres brought me to tears and laughter. Each keynote had a meaningful purpose. Thanks!"
"One of my 3rd grade teachers just bought Big Books- the Dot for her classroom, and I can't wait to see it on my computer. We are currently in conversations with Fabelvision to see if we can get a virtual author visit with Peter Reynolds at our school."
"My 4th graders "made their mark" this year and loved it! All because my colleague, Erin Olson, and I attended BLC and she purchased the book for me as a "great job on presenting" gift. Thanks!"
"Besides the fact that my daughter loves The Dot (and that philosophy of art-making is at large at her Austin pre-school, Habibi's Hutch), I am interested in ways to encourage creativity in the DIGITAL realm in my workplace. Trinity Episcopal School has just undergone a major technology initiative (laptops for 6-8 grade and a beautiful new Mac media arts lab with green screen production area). I'd just love to be kept abreast of new tools and approaches for encouraging true creativity in the digital environment."
