Bravo to Stephen Powell of Ultralab New Zealand for this initiaitive: Practitioner/conference keynote presenter links

Dear Colleagues. As a part of the NAVCON2K4 conference we are seeing to recruit 30 teachers to take part in a pilot project to look at how we can support classroom practitioner through undertaking small scale action research projects linked to keynote presenters at the conference.

The project will start in the beginning of August and will finish in November when a research paper on the success of the project will be shred with the Ministry of Education and published online along with the individual action research projects. The project is a an action research project in its own right and as such everyone involved is a co-researcher and contributor to the research paper.

To support this, we will use Blog technology to help researchers in developing ideas, planning, and undertaking their action research. The project will be facilitated by Stephen Powell and Anne Trewern who have experience in supporting students through the action research process in online environments.

I've been ranting about individual/group bridging, but there is a HUGE need to connect practitioners and researchers working in any kind of online distributed work. What other bridges can we facilitate and build?
