@Christiana
I think your questions are great! In fact, the “labs” that they offered were small group discussions in large conference rooms, without technology (thus no direct connection and integration with the wikis). Having an open “wiki station” like the email stations may have made a difference.

The more I think about this, the more I want to do some proposal around all of this for next year. Have to consider in what capacity . . .

You know, Tony’s Web 2.0 session was packed. A lot of hungry and curious people. Does ASTD offer sessions in labs? It would be great to have a lab session where people could sign right up. Otherwise, I am afraid they sit in the session and love it…then return to “real life.” Maybe ASTD needs a lab running like the email stations but this one is for people who have questions and are afraid to ask. Maybe it opens right after a session explaining the “best” of web 2.0 and how it can meet your needs.

Perhaps we can consider doing co-presenting at next year’s conference?

We need to start a user-level revolution!

How do we do that?

Why should we expect better from ASTD? How many books or blogs or Tweets or what have you do you follow from senior ASTD people?

That’s what happens when people treat wikis like a content management system. They still see the web as an information pushing media - from the almighty to the reader… Don’t try to give me feedback, I don’t care. Wow, I would have expected better from ASTD.
