I'm back from a couple of days at The Association of Boarding Schools (TABS) conference in Baltimore, MD. Before I get into my recap of the conference, things that (with apologies to Peter King) may be interesting only to me:

Proof is pleased to announce the launch of edsocialmedia.com, an online magazine and blog focusing on Social Media in schools.

I wanted to share some thoughts about a couple of posts that I have found interesting.

Now, this just makes all kinds of sense.

I had a great chat with Peter Baron today about the role of social-media in schools. It was one of those heady dialogs. It reminded me a little (a bit fondly) of the 90's where everyone was getting hyped-up about networking and web for schools.

It struck me as a bit uncanny how this emergent movement feels so much like the last one. There's lots of enthusiasm, many champions and big ideas and yet there is an equally palpable sense of anxiety and wariness of the whole thing.
