As I sit here in the lobby of the Omni, I realize that this is the first time in the last four days that I haven’t been actively involved in a conversation with people. When I used to go to conferences, as a young and budding blogger, I’d typically sit down along the wall […]

EduBloggerCon has come and gone and to say it was a success would be an understatement. The networking alone made it a success, but it was the conversations that are going to stick with me. I’m still not 100% sure whether we’ll be able to look back on it as any sort of […]

Chris Lehmann’s session on Administration and School 2.0 “We finally have the tools to realize Dewey’s dream” What changes do we need to make structurally in our schools to achieve this dream?
Data: NCLB is a reality. Need to find ways to stop wrapping education around the testing, rather teach what needs […]

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 […]

First session of the day at EduBloggerCon. Description is:
But is there anyone interested in taking an hour to discuss the creation of a short list of talking points regarding the uses of the Read/Write Web in education? What key points should we be making? What key points CAN we be making? To whom should we […]

This was the most uneventful trip through O’Hare airport that I’ve had in months. Not a single delay, not a single problem. I love Atlanta already!
I checked the weather report. It’s hot and it ain’t cooling off. But that’s alright. Perfect weather for a conference.
Ever since I started […]

Things are crazy busy leading up to NECC and EduBloggerCon. If you don’t believe me, just check out the flurry of activity on Twitter lately. Definitely much more than usual.
Hope to see everyone there. If you want to know where to find me, it’s going to be pretty simple. […]

Taking a quick break before the evenings activites but figured I’d check in with a quick NECC report. I spent most of the day in the vendor area, and for the most part it was exactly what you’d expect. Tons of blinking stuff and a mad scramble to get some free schwag.
A […]

I know, it sounds crazy, but I’ve got a podcast to share! It’s the night before NECC and if all goes well, I’m going to have a bunch of audio to share throughout the conference. July is actually going to be a pretty busy conference month, so I should have stuff to share […]

Alright, this one is going to be short. I’m at Warlick’s podcasting workshop. It should get started any minute now, but they seem to be experiencing network issues. Of course, the case could be made that the entire conference has been experiencing network issues due to the lack of WiFi available during […]

Panel discussion. I recognize Will Richardson and Anne Davis is talking via Skype, but I don’t recognize the other three people
Anne is starting off. She’s saying that blogging has built learning communities like never before. With students, they spent a lot of time talkinga bout weblogs, what they were and what were […]

I just raced from one end of the convention center and raced over to see David Warlick’s spotlight session. I got here late, so I missed the beginning. I’m also sitting so far back that I won’t be able to record it. I really hope that Dave is, but since it does […]

Sometimes having no time at all is an absolutely wonderful problem to have. I have notes from several workshops that I just don’t have time to post. I have a podcast recorded that I still need to upload. I have drafts of two or three blog entries that need to be finished […]

Erin Beth at the information both was extraordinarily helpful and aided me in finding a place for our little get together. We will be meeting at Tir Na Nog, an Irish pub about four blocks away from the convention center. It’s right up Arch street so it should be real easy to find. […]
