This is a short script. I thought it was supposed to be a 30 second summary of Dr. Wagner's presentation that we would narrate into a PODCAST?
"I like Dr. Wagner's presentation. She seemed to have a teaching educational background with a private sector mentality. She is well informed and speculative about both, educational trends and how connectivism along with Web 2.0 are changing or shaping the way we learn. She also seemed concern about how to better utilize the tools of right now than focusing on the future, or in other words, we should embrace what is available now and prepare for the future.
Her website is full of useful insightful blogs about education and technology. I really enjoyed her presentation and look forward to reading her blogs."
Some pondering questions....
How do we prepare students for future technologies?
I would say by having students be more active with today's technologies.
How do we prepare ourselves?
Through reading, peers, playing with new tools that come to light.
How do we decide to stay with sustainable technology?
I really don't know... right now at least.
How is everything that is free (open source) going to help us implement it in educational training?
By using it, retaining what's good and letting go of the ones that have little to offer or that are too far ahead of their time.
What keeps me up at night?
How am I going to be of help to make sure everyone regardless of their location, age (kids, adults, seniors, people with disabilities), social economic status get their hands on these technologies and get better education and become part of the educational caravan? How?

I really like your script. I think this post and your previous post captured her presentation to us.
I was especially hit by the idea of creating educational opportunities with today's technology (and weeding out what doesn't work) while still looking forward and contemplating how best to utilize the tools.
