I just learned that Lee Baber died last night. I have never met Lee in person, only on-line through Skype or one of the Edtechtalk.com shows. She has always been so helpful to others - guiding, encouraging, and nudging us all as we work together to increase the occurance of 21st century instruction into classrooms around the globe. She has been researching and studying what a classroom of the 21st century should look like. Read more about her ideas and research on her blog.
I am feeling sad with the loss of my online friend. It is a somewhat strange feeling; I've never felt this type of sorrow for someone I have never met face-to-face. I suppose this is one small indicator that shows the way the world is changing due to the power of technology.
I will miss Lee's friendship and support; I hope that I can influence others in similar ways - people I have met in person & people I have only met on-line.
