Perhaps we'll think about it in the future, although at an Ed Tech conference a Flash Session could easily be misinterpretted as a presentation on using Adobe Flash :P You should definitely hunt down the Gorilla Session room (Room O3-46) during the conference to see what's going on. It's a new idea this year, for those who are inspired by something they see at the conference, or couldn't present on because it's so new, to form an impormptu session. I really had hoped they would have kept the Guerrilla name, as that signififed to me something going on "behind the scenes" so to speak of the conference, but Gorilla is what the consensus was.

I kinda had this vision of 20-30 people all of a sudden turning some random set of tables into an impromptu session, like a flash mob :) That's alright, a Gorilla session about social networking in the classroom works for me. I'd actually be very interested (and think the people who make sites like Ning would be too) in creating a solid mind-map of what would make the perfect site to teach students about social networking.
