I had the opportunity to co-curate / co-host the #140edu conference with Jeff Pulver a few weeks ago, and it was just an incredible day of really interesting talks and lots of wonderful schmoozing in the "Schmooze Room." You should definitely check out all the talk from the two days (and thank you, Meenoo, for putting that list together, but I want to highlight three that involved SLA.

This first one is Christian Long moderating a panel of five SLA alumni, talking about our school. I love listening to the five young adults talk about our community. They honor the work we all do together.

The next panel was moderated by Rebecca Levey and featured three of SLA’s Home and School parents and me talking about school-parent relationships. It was really wonderful getting to share the stage with my parents and talk about what our school means to their families.

And here’s the opening of the conference – I had to take a later train than I had planned, and I was tweeting my progress in the taxi, and Jeff Pulver did a wonderful job of opening the conference as I raced to get there. Jeff is about the most genuine person you could ever hope to meet. Jeff has been one of the folks building the tools and then building the communities that are changing the way we live. It was my pleasure to share the stage with him and to share this last clip with him. In my part of the talk, I kept playing with the ideas that really are driving my thinking about how these tools, married to progressive pedagogy, are changing the way we can teach and learn.

We had such a great time at #140Edu that we’re going to do it again next year – July 31st and August 1st at the 92nd St. Y.

Hope to see you there.
