Day 1

Looking forward for the Edmedia2013 conference to start. Had a wonderful start to the day by getting the last seat on the plane: next to the pilot!  How thrilling!! Looking down on the islands I am more accustomed to sailing by. When I arrived at the Empress they upgraded me to a suite. Beautiful accommodation. Now enjoying lunch with a beautiful view of downtown Victoria's gorgeous flower baskets. Also perusing through the conference materials and tweets to begin learning and making connections. I've connected with a presenter http://www.mctoonish.com/blog from Saskatchewan who is experimenting with using Twitter in her course. She's presenting her observations and ways she's making adaptations to what she's learned. Looking forward to discussing this concept with her and other conference attendees tonight over dinner in this quaint city.
