I would happily take two or three days of this. Being able to talk face to face with dozens of people who I’ve read, followed, Skyped, chatted with, and listened to for so many years. To be able to discussion something in real time.

So often the conversation is passive. I lurk on far more blogs than I participate on. So being able to hear people’s ideas and respond directly is a huge thrill.

I hate to key in on any people in particular, but I do want to mention how much of a thrill it was to meet Anne Davis and Mario Asselin because both were so influential to me as I got my start in the world of blogging. Anne hasn’t been blogging quite so much lately because she’s working on doing some blog research for her dissertation, but her work with the Bloomin’ Bloggers really made a huge impression on me as I got got started.

Other highlights have included hearing Will’s vision for what the “Inconvenient Truth” of education might look like. Seeing people take notes on blogs, wikis, tablets, Google docs, and even pen and paper. Meeting people for the first time and connecting their real name to their second life name to their blog/podcast.

Can’t wait for the rest of the day!
