The key important point for me is that there are different technologies and platforms out there to suit whatever interactive discipline one feels most comfortable with. The key IMHO is maintaining both an open mind and realizing that all of this is simply a choice about how we interact and most importantly how we learn and spread the awareness of 21st Century type of education. Congrats on the award. M.

Suggest that you check out my post on it because you may want to change your mind. I did enjoy the whole SL ceremony and hope that the voting issues are less of an issue next year.
