As I get ready to take off for Bb World 09 I am very excited!  Already this year seems to be much more focused on online learning best practices, effective collaboration, excellent teaching and learning experiences and curriculum innovation - not just tools (not just Bb!, no offense Bb!).  There are so many opportunities in front of us to network, share and collaborate - which is so fantastic as we continue to build and strengthen our community.  I am fortunate this year to be traveling with colleagues from instructional design, project management, course production, development and system administration.  Knowing that this mix of expertise areas will be soaking in the 'stuff' at BbWorld09, means that we will be experiencing everything we can from all sides.  I can’t wait to connect with colleagues I have seen and meet new faces too!  See you tomorrow in DC!
