Barbara Ganley lived up to her keynote billing delivering this stellar talk at blog.ac.uk - a talk that I drew on freely for my own talk later in the day. And her message left some in the audience surprised: "Let's face it. It's hopeless for us to think we can change a behemoth like our educational system - it reflects, after all, the fine fix we find ourselves in, and because it very elegantly keeps those with power in power. And so what we do for the time being will continue to be tense, strained even - except with our students in the classroom and on the blogs."

More blog.ac.uk goodness: Miles Berry summarizes a session led by Peter Ford on blogging safely towards digital literacy. Also, photos from the conference: a set by Ewan MacIntosh and more by Stuart Yeates.
