Thank you so much for your lovely Conference Preview video on Youtube - I have just watched it!
It was moving to see how animated you all were about the conference, and the values and ideas that you are working so hard to integrate into the experience. I’m so sorry that I can’t be there to join you in person, as I’ve been unable to secure funding. Thank you so much to my 3 reviewers who gave such an enthusiastic response. I’m busy thinking of ways to contribute and join in somehow with the two-eyed seeing and braiding! Will respond on the other threads.
Thanks for watching the video, Lesley, and regret the funding did not enable you to be in Edmonton to share your work.
I am seeking ways for you and others unable to be there to contribute to the “to be developed” braiding process, or at least a viable way to share/connect your open education efforts. It fits the concept of wahkôhtowin that everything is interconnected/related.
I remain convinced we can find other means than just presentations! And looking now at the two streams that are going to be openly live streamed (and hopefully archived) that it’s almost a quarter of the conference sessions, and includes the keynotes and general sessions, plus many highly relevant sessions (see the Salon 8/10 and Salon 12 tracks in the provisional schedule).
Thank you so much Alan !! It’s fabulous about the streaming and braiding sessions. I was thinking that I wouldn’t be able to contribute, but am rethinking that to see how it might work!! Just posted a braiding idea in the photo challenge. Thanks to you and all the team for all your welcoming thoughts and plans .
