Edubloggercon and NECC

28 Jun 2008

Almost the first day of NECC and I'm attending the Edubloggercon. This is an "unconference" which is supposed to be very unstructured. This has been "organized" on its own wiki for several months now.

But this one has over 200 people attending so we drop back to the way conferences get organized more traditionally. We've all voted on what the schedule of discussions should be using polleverywhere.com.

So, the folks here have twittered out and the world is discussing whether this is really an "unconference."

Good to get the conversations going! This alone is enough to validate the worldwide connections that are possible and empowering for everyone.

Hi Pat! Conferences are for

Hi Pat! Conferences are for the people you meet or re-meet, as well as the new things you learn, I always thought. Learning can occur in the digital space, but I would still go to conferences and meetings, for other satisfactions. The fact that you twittered out, says that you do also. Bye,
