I certainly thought so! - dfw

I think it's a fabulous service, a conference app. I saw so many people walking around with the app playing on their smart phones or tablets. - dfw

Congrats! - dfw

I guess you guys were outside the door at this point, informing the group of progress. At that point I was trying to figure out how I was going to do this without audio for the computer and with only a wired microphone. Conference center didn't have an A/V guy that day. Drat!

The thing is that we do it every day in almost every way, but we don't think of it as part of education. A while back I used Google Translate to translate learn into Danish. Then I took the Danish word for learn and translated that back into English, and it was teacher. The relationship between learning and teaching is much tighter than our education system would suggest. - dfw
