Dear Jack,
"As you make your accounts of your educational influences in learning
accessible on the web, as you research to improve your practice and generate
knowledge, do please send me your urls so that I can include them in the
'other homepages of interest' section of http://www.actionresearch.net . I'd
like to highlight these in the various presentations I'm giving on action
research and living theory over the next few months in the lead up to the
8th World Congress of ALARA in Melbourne."
Well, I'd like to offer the following video clips of my 'I-opening'
practice that you have supplied!:
Excerpts from Linnaean Society presentation:

"There was a flow of energy on the way we experience inclusionality with the
group of friends that invited me to meditate and with the Dolphins. It was
such an experience that I felt the connection with all."
I'm wondering if we could pool such flows of energy and include our
representations of this pooling of energy in our practitioner-research?
For example on December 18th 2002 Peter Mellett led a celebration to mark
Jacqueline Delong's graduation with her Ph.D. on 'How Can I Improve My
Practice As A Superintendent of Schools and Create My Own Living Educational
Theory?'
At 42 seconds into this 46 second clip below there is a spontaneous flow of
life-enhancing energy. Jackie is third on Pete's right and I think you will
experience the flow of life-enhancing energy in Jackie's laughter - the flow
of energy that she brings into her educational relationships.

(you can access Jackie's thesis at at:
http://www.actionresearch.net/living/delong.shtml )
With Marie's help Jackie has just created her free spanglefish website at
http://www.spanglefish.com/ActionResearchCanada/ and if you click on the
Brantford Master's Cohort in Canada you can access three of the
practitioner-researcher MA programmes supervised by Jackie and graduating in
2009, from:
Ruth Mills - How Can I Change the Culture of a School?
Anne Nickifuruk - What Are the Metacognitive Strategies That I Can
Incorporate Into My Daily Teaching Practice and How Can I Have My Grade 4
Students Use These Strategies to Become More Aware of Themselves as
Learners?
Teresa McDougald - What Is the Nature of My Influence as an Educator and How
Can I Influence Teachers to Use Assistive Technology in Daily Practice?
This coming Tuesday, at the American Educational Research Association
Conference in Denver, Jackie is presenting her multi-media account on
'Engaging Educators in Representing Their Knowledge in Complex Ecologies and
Cultures of Inquiry' - you can access this from the 'Jackie's writings'
section of her web-site at:
