I'd really want us to discuss matters related to Teacher Training. I have signed up as "speaker", but actually I am sure there are many others who know more about what works in that field, and what doesn't, and it would be good to document that. I can at least offer some questions... Michael's Uruguay would be related? Greg D's Marketing also fits under the general concept of dealing with wetware.
Also, internationalization and such issues is a big interest for me, so I definitely would want that matter to get its time. Content is something I am also pursuing, now through OLE.org, I will be meeting with them while in Boston. Ed Cherlin had something on textbooks I also would want to learn more about content delivery and e-learning platforms, something that has been raising much interest in Sur. I will be in town form the evening of the 15th to the afternoon of the 20th, and except the 17th when I have a meeting with OLE that has not a time set yet, I would enjoy all opportunities to get to meet y'all, learn more about what's going on, network, and such.
