One of the most valuable features of the edublog space is its leading edge innovation, creativity, and quality of discussion. I find many conferences and "experts" discussing concepts several years after they were dissected with bloggers. So I found this article on a presentation by Chris Dede on reinventing education via web 2.0 to be a review of what has been discussed extensively in podcasts and blogs...several years ago. I was also intrigued by the assertion that his talk had never been given before - I know many presenters find a topic and fine tune the presentation over a period of several months/years. I don't understand that. Maybe I just don't have the discipline and perseverance, but each talk I give, while sometimes incorporating previous elements, starts with a clean slate. That way I'm learning through the planning process, rather than fine tuning a message.
