Ah, the wonders of technology, which we so love when it works! Here we are at the beginning of the Progressive Ed Retreat, and very excited about the conversations to come. Disappointed to see how many people who had wanted to come needed to cancel, I've decided to employ a bit of technology that does have some reputation for reliability: ergo this blog.
The plan is to post regularly throughout the weekend about conversations that are going on during the retreat, and to provide an avenue for those who had to cancel attending in person to participate in the conversations from a distance.
I'm not yet on the Goddard campus, but as soon as I get there I will see if I have wifi connectivity from the building in which most of our meetings will be taking place. If so, you can expect some live blogging during our large group discussions. If not, then we will post to the blog in between sessions, and invite your comments and questions at any time throughout the retreat.
If you need help to post a comment, let me know at debgaryalicen@alumni.unc.edu. If you want to start a new topic, send me an email and I'll get it started.
The only people who are being given the URL for this blog are those who had been planning to come, and those who are attending the retreat. Please do not provide the URL to anyone else at this time. We will decide later whether to leave it up and make it public, or leave it up with restricted access, or take it down.
That's all for now. Welcome to Vermont!

Thanks to Deb for pulling this together so quickly, and welcome to all who use it!
I'll just add my word of welcome, and I hope this will be an additional mode of commentary for our work.
