Kathleen -- I think this is a wonderful idea! And of course it will "work
in Open Space."  Space is first opened by somebody's passion, which may or
may not attract the passion of others. In this case, I can't help but feel
you have hit a real power point -- having nothing to do with presentations.
For some years I have tried in various ways to bring folks together in Open
Space around education. Never seemed to catch fire. I guess my passion
wasn't hot enough. Anyhow, when you are ready, i would love to support you
in any way possible. I know of several folks out there in the cybersphere
who regularly connect with teachers of all sorts. When you have an
invitation, and with your permission, I would love to forward it along. And
there are some other possibilities. Carry On !!!!
