It's a challenge and welcome, to remind you of where you are and make sure you're here to do good. If ever there's a way to keep your keynote in line, and make sure that respect for all that is (very) |

| the ogre won't see them. ULearn07 is a great conference, and one with which I have been incredibly proud to be associated. The conversations offline as well as online have been rich, but these three days are only the very beginning. The real hard work, trying to understand the issues laid on the table, is just about to start. Paul, if |
