Community

I'm sitting in Prince Edward Island, visiting a friend (dialup only) and thinking about how interconnected we all are. Even with dialup I was able to listen to the Women of Web 2.0 webcast from World Bridges, follow the chat, chat on Skype with someone else, check my e-mails, read a few blogs (OK - only a few - I'm supposed to be on vacation). Tomorrow, I'll meet some people I only know through my online reading and listening and yet, I feel I will be meeting people I already know. That sense of community, of being part of something is quite amazing. Together people are building community for themselves and for their students. Something powerful is happening.
