a test blog for conference participants
Hello, I am Jay Cross. This is a Blog (or weblog) for us to practice with. I have turned on "Comments.". Please introduce yourself. (Click "comments" below.)
If you have questions you'd like me to answer in our sessions in Abu Dhabi, please include them in a Comment.
Blogs and wikis are increasingly common in Silicon Valley. If you're interested in the learning culture of the Valley, cut on your sound, and head to: Silicon Valley, The DNA of a Community of Practice.
You can find out more about me -- and my thoughts on learning and performance at Internet Time Blog.
The Teachers' Lounge
The most recent issue of Educause contains a marvellous article on wikis in education.
The most radical aspect of wikis is this: "Content is ego-less, time-less, and never finished." Of course, nothing is ever finished in this world, but books go into print and movies are edited into a final version. Wikis never close.
You know, it's amazing how often I get asked that question: "Well, how are blogs different from, like, news groups?" Graphics. Collaboration. Shared space. Digital paper. Syndication. And so on, and so on... But for some reason, so many people still look at them and see, well, bulletin boards I guess. Too bad.

The Emirate of Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi is the largest of the seven Emirates and the Federal capital of the UAE. It occupies an area of 26,000 square miles. Its long coastline - the shallow waters of the Southern Gulf, extending from the base of the Qatar Peninsula in the west to the border of the emirate of Dubai on the north east, was once the world's best waters for pearling. When the pearling industry declined, oil discovery in the offshore oilfields of the Southern Gulf revived the economy of Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi was also the first emirate to export oil from the Umm Shaif offshore field in 1962. On the land, it stretches south to the oases of Liwa where some of the world’s largest sand dunes can be found , and east to the ancient oasis of Al Ain. This makes Abu Dhabi the largest as well as the most populated of all the emirates.
