Thanks Jim, that means a lot. The talk was informed tremendously by both your and Alan’s work, both the content but also the idea of telling a story – I struggled for a while to find a way to do this as a story, to find a narrative frame. I still don’t think I’ve nailed it, but the workflow steps themselves seem to resonate with some folks. And I think the thing I didn’t stress enough but is worth stressing is that each step has value in and of itself. So even if the end to end workflow doesn’t resonate, hopefully one or two steps do and people will adopt practices that can help them flow between them.

Scott, I really digged the talk, and I especially liked the frame of Search, Sample, Sequence, Record, and Perform. What it does it places a very clear and powerful metaphor/narrative on top of your presentation that allows anyone to get lost in the tool but quickly pull out and see its place in the overall logic. I really do think this presentation should be performed through the media you are talking about, mainly music/video. Perform the process of dicovery through the tools and resources to music, the marriage/mashup is so apt and engaging.

Which bring me to this:

or me this last talk on “the Open Educator as DJ” represents the synthesis of thinking on how OER, PLEs and network learning/loosely-coupled-teaching are initimately related, a synthesis which I did not start with but which I have been groping towards in each new presentation.

For me this is really important, and so well stated. The frame actually allows you to fit the various pieces of your own discovery into an album of sorts. A work. It is cool to see the progression and logic, especially given it comes out as a well wrought resource framed by some very exact thinking about how this may be adopted easily by anyone—and the metaphor is so crucial in making this not only apparent, but attractive.
