Your comments in the Open PD video about the value of connecting learners around the globe were spot on. I took the liberty of sharing them in this Spiral Notebook plug for Open PD: http://www.edutopia.org/social-networking-online-professional-development Cheers, Suzie Sue,

I have had a look at Utah (MST) and Sydney's (DST) timezones and I've found I can do the 4:30pm time if the day is a Friday in Utah. If it's a weekday I can manage an 11am start time in Utah. Hope this helps. Otherwise I'll continue absorbing all the wonderful information from your and the presenters' blogs. Hi Sue, thanks for the reply.

Thanks Carla for sharing your link on Blogging4Educators - I've been trying to keep an eye on the activities so this means I will be able to keep a closer eye. I would have like to talk about using common tags in my post but there wasn't enough room to discuss how valuable this is for connecting people. Hi Pat - getting across the whole point of conversations and connections with blogging; and why they are so valuable is so hard to demonstrate to new people. Hope to see you at Open PD. Happy Sue to have mentioned you and your students. There is so much to learn when you first start blogging, and it can be a slow process to move towards the conversation. Nothing wrong with baby steps. Darren - always happy to join your Open PD and educate Americans on others cultures (especially Vegemite, Tim Tams and kangeroos). Yes - I must admit I came up with the whole conversation example off the top of my head which was incredible as we both know how slowly my brain thinks early in the morning. Grace - Darren is definitely looking into ways to make the Open PD more flexible across the time zones. Do you have any thoughts for the ideal time in our zone?
