@Julie,

Thank you! I would love to get our two groups together – all the work you are doing with professional development is such an inspiration to me! It would be so fabulous for our teachers here in Bangkok to see that this is happening in schools all around the world! Let’s do it!

@dierksl,

Thank you so much! You are absolutely welcome to Skype in – it is always amazing to see how many people all around the world are engaged in this kind of learning, and for many of the teachers attending this Saturday, this may be the first time they experience something like that!

@Darren,

Good idea! I will see if I can figure out how to uStream or even just record and post later. I have to see how the group feels about having their conversation recorded Thanks for the ideas!

@Jonathan,

Excellent! I know our teachers are going to be so excited to see other international school teachers engaging in the same experience!

Hey Kim – found a proxy that let me peek at your site through the ‘Great Firewall of China’ Just worked out the time difference and our LAN parties in Bangkok & Shanghai are starting at exactly the same time this morning – let’s connect!

Very cool Kim! Looks like you started a fire. Maybe you could Ustream some of it and leave a link to the recording on the post on the K12 Online blog. Depending on how the conversation goes you might want to submit it as a critique or presentation for notK12 Online, they're running through November 16. Cheers! Darren

Oooo! I am wishing I was there in Bangkok this Saturday! I’ve been following your blog for several months now and am very inspired by your work. I’m trying to figure out te time difference between Minnesota and there to see if I can Skype in, if that is really OK to crash your party. I love your invite and just may mimic you with a party of my own. Would love to know how it turns out for you!

Geek out!

Kim, this is a great initiative! Good luck. I do hope you get a keen group of people attending (I know you will).
I have a 21st century learners group here in Qatar made up of educators from Qatar Academy and others in Doha. We are getting together Friday November 7th (also our weekend) to watch week 2 K12 Online conference clips. Maybe we can plan to link together for future meetings/get togethers?
