 * Conversation download :** **[|Bill Wade and Alex Hayes]** muse on a day of " reconnections" and blocks.

We cruised through everything from broadband satellite delivery of interactive distance learning, Apple's new suite of tools, best practices from the Red Centre and Deadly Mob gang - you guys overwhelmed us, tremendous work and excellent role modelling. At the days end, we were treated to the exciting world of Second life, complete with crystal clear audio. A huge thank you to session presenters Joanna Kay, Richard Waring, Amanda Cawthorne-Crosby, Paul Fitsimons, Greg Eagan, Georgina Nou, Linda Chellew, Linda Ford, and Trevor Billany who co-facilitated and kicked in big time as I grappled with technical challenges caused by the failure of the Adobe Connect room. HUGE apologies to those who tried to present via the Adobe Connect (Alex, Scott, Jaycinta, Gregor) platform but were unable to do so due to irresolvable (and we know you tried :-) technical failure. Maybe we can run another session later on.

This couldn't have happened without ITMS support - Pavel you are a hero in disguise! Other BIG thank yous go out to "G' who performed a great acoustic set over lunch and all the other musos gigging throughout the day. All our volunteers at Mal Nairn, here in Darwin: Cal/Lewis for great sound support. Leon for tech assitance and tear down. The TLDG gang (Lida, Peter, Mona, Jo, Tony, Janet) for photos, registration and break-out session support. Ruth and Linda, who endured endless hours of preparation and provision of support for the event. From PMD, Linda you're the logistics meister! and thanks Helen for layout proofing and design. Our own CDU Corporate Communications, for great promotion - Richie / Jen / Marie Claire / Robyn you were awesome. Leanne at Uniprint (amazing turnarounds). Territory FM for the radio air time and repurposing of videos. Shuberts - great food! Shaun and team at FAS, for all of the in-kind support and gearing us up for what I'm sure looked like an insane event from your viewpoint. Chris, Geoff and Carole for your tech support! Our colleagues in Trades, for your flexibility on awards night and letting us into the venue "early." Trisha and Melanie for spreading the work through our school sectors. Multimedia students Luke and Sam for documenting much of the face to face session here in Darwin.

Mostly, though, thank you to the participants, both those who came to the session in-person, all the avatars who met us in SL, and those who joined the virtual rooms and patiently partook - Lud thanks for your support in the Elluminate room - which in the end seemed to deliver the best in this day's event overall. We had valuable input throughout the day and will be collating the break-out session content as well as posting photos, video and audio casts .

Please visit our Feedback / Rants 'n Raves Page and post your thoughts on MobilizeThis.
Kind regards, from the end of a long day / week / month ...
