I have been following the summit at Downers Grove and did leave some feedback on a few blogs. Also, I blogged about the summit. Not a great posting, but my humble thoughts. I enjoy reading your notes on conferences. Your comments help me sort out your thoughts against what I was thinking. In the future the "chatter" on the conference may be better than the conference. However, as a presenter it may be distracting to hear the clicking of keyboards (or lack there of) as you are presenting. I'm not sure if this will be the back room conference. Also, what ethical implications are there for what we write? Are we critics, reporters or editorialist? I'm sure we or better minds than mine will work all of this out. Jim Steve,

I really would like to make a workshop that wouldn't necessitate my mortgaging my first-born. Something a wee bit south of Dallas would be keen! I have hacked away at this for some time and had it not been for the folks like Steve and Eric Jefcoat, I'd still be slappin' my computer across the room. Sure would be nice to see it first-hand. If anyone knows of something, please give me a holler! Gosh, John, If I’d know you were using mine as an example, I’d have tidied up a bit, maybe baked a cake…

You just didn't know it. I used your post today about the typeface for children with dyslexia to show people what a post looks like in Bloglines. We weren't getting very deep with content...but it was perfect example of the variety of stuff that's out there!!! Someday we'll all have to figure out how to plan something to meet in (the other) real world. You weren’t left out at all here in Minnesota. You just didn’t know it.

I also completely agree with your comment about the long tail and niche audiences. They are highly related. The other super powerful trend is that of user generated content and RSS. If you combine them, you have the perfect match. You have lots of micro-content producers or annotators in the case of bookmarking sites like blinklist or del.icio.us and a very fast and powerful way to push out and syndicate all of that content via RSS. This is going to change the production and distribution of information in a major way! Sounds like this was a fantastic event.

All these conferences and I knew of none of them. Where does one find out about upcoming conferences and workshops devoted to podcasting and blogging?

My mind is complete mush after a day of excellent conversations just a touch north of you folks. (Proctor, Minnesota...we are about 2 hours north of Minneapolis, near Duluth!) We had a great day of play as well. The final count was around 45 people...incredible for a late July workshop. There's an entire story behind the momentum this ATLAS (Arrowhead Technology Literacy Association of Schools) has carried for the past 4 years. It's worth an entirely seperate post. EPIC 2014 is incredible...do a google search for EPIC 2015. There's an update. ;O) I used it with our group this morning. Each time I watch it I think of other technologies on the "grid". It crossed my mind this morning that one could deconstruct the timeline and technologies and make a killer presentation about how all these new technologies are laying the foundation. More afterthoughts and reflections coming once I get a little rest. It's been another exciting week in the edublogosphere! Steve Dembo…the Robert Scoble of educational technology conferences!!!
