Hi Alan! Wonderful trip and a very inspiring session. We had a blast hosting you and twisting your arm into staying up late to talk about stuff, err, educational technologies! I spent quite a bit of time recounting our post session conversation and have to say I think I’ve come away with an even greater appreciation for what you pulled off — the thing that is jumping out at me as I replay the conversation is that the tools are a part of the outcome. That it isn’t about the tools, but at the end of the day the tools lend a voice to the resulting story. I know that sounds strange, but it is how I am seeing it now in my rear view mirror.

Know Happy Valley will never be the same! I’m glad you got to hang out with so many of my colleagues and got a chance to experience the local life a bit — from hanging with a high school friend, to eating and drinking local, to impacting our community it was a killer time. I can’t thank you enough! You are welcome back anytime!

Thanks @AngerManagementCourses- the busted tag is fixed.

and what is “IE” ;-) That is a joke. It is the Cursed Bane of Web Designers. It is …. oh heck. I will take a look sometime when I have nothing to do, but it would help to know more than “isnt working”- it does require the CoolIris Plugin, not sure how that places with Internet Exploder

It was great meeting to finally meet you! And I’m glad I had the opportunity to share with you a bit of what we’re doing with Digital Commons. The Tuesday afternoon session(s) were very enlightening as well, and my team and I were definitely jotting down some notes some new things we can do with our own digital storytelling workshops.

Give me a holler when you want to do a webinar.

[...] fun, but flat out inspiring to quite a few people on my team and beyond. Alan took some time to blog about it earlier [...]

Thanks for the presentation yesterday, Alan. I have written a blog post that tries to respond to something of your concern about the "so what?" question. Check it out here: http://www.personal.psu.edu/cpl2/blogs/TheLongRoad/2009/05/narrative-on-the-social-web.html

Sounds like a great experience.

btw…

You’ve got an open “a” tag:

University of Mary Washington Faculty Academy…

Also your “50 ways” link (http://cogdogblog/stuff/50ways) isn’t working in IE. Works great in Firefox though.

I cannot tell you how incredibly stoked I was to hear you today, both in demonstrating the 50 million ways to tell a story as well as participating in the panel discussion that generated so much thought and even more questions. I think Cole knew how pathetically excited I was to meet you and, now that I got a shout out on CogDogBlog, I can die happy. You are inspirational. It was a joy. Please come again!

PS. The end to the story? Of course, the police came and helped paint the Nittany Lion with Sue’s orange paint! I’m thinking, Orange Bowl…
