21st Century Learning conference

Wow, what a lot of information to cram into my brain in the last 3 days. I've been at a conference, and it has been one of the more worthwhile PD opportunities I've had.

The first 1 1/2 days was on a bus tour, visiting other libraries in Hong Kong. I was thinking about our new library the whole time, what I should do, what I shouldn't do, and what I think I'm on the right track with. There are some really nice librarians in Hong Kong, so it was great to spend time with them and pick their brains about things.

The next 1 1/2 days was at the conference. There were some really inspirational speakers, and lots of great ideas on using technology. Hence the brain cramps. I've even joined Twitter!

Coming back on the ferry after the bus tour on Thursday, I took a photo of The Rainbow Warrior, the Greenpeace boat. I'm not sure why it was in Hong Kong or how long it is here for, but it was looking very quiet and peaceful at the ferry piers.

The photo is a little foggy - not because of my camera, but because of the weird fog we had for a few days. Not the kind of fog I'm used to, that lifts around mid-morning, but a fog that covered the city for a few days. It was very bizarre coming back on the ferry and not even being able to see all the city buildings.
