Status Report:

Dave is still working on his panel. He has a call scheduled with Jim Groom to do further planning and finalizing the panel group. He stated that Jeremy Boggs is very interested and he has not had time to confirm with Bryan Alexander. I suspect more will come in the next week or so.

Dave did not comment on whether or not the title was still correct or if the level of difficulty was appropriate. Will continue to bug him on this after he speaks with Jim.

Dave is going to be the moderator and has confirmed Jim Groom, Gardner Campbell, and Barbara Ganley. He has not passed on all email addresses so I will need to follow up. He is also in the process of confirming Stephen Downes as the final panelist.

He is waiting on answering the questions until he has all panelists confirmed and therefore also does not have a communiation strategy in place. Hugh has let him know the absolute date for all panelists is Jan 16.

Also because he does not have all panelists finalized bios are not yet in.

This is definitely a subject I want to learn more about. A great way of getting over the staid mentality and bringing teaching into the 21st centuary.

Your theme about Edupunk: Open Source Education is really intriguing. I will probably select the essays writers to buy an essay and buy research paper about Edupunk: Open Source Education, because this is the good way.
