As Day 2 of the conference gets started I’m sitting here in the Blogger’s Cafe reflecting on Day 1. As usual I spent most of my time at the Blogger’s Cafe chatting with new and old friends alike. I did go to one session yesterday. Scott McLeod’s session on disruptive innovations. Now I went to the session to support Scott […]
Last year I was pretty critical of EduBloggerCon. For me it was too big, too scripted, and…well…you can read the post. This year….smaller, deeper, and more thoughtful. Exactly what I was hoping for and personally what I need to push my own thinking. It was one of those days where you went to one but watch others via Twitter. You […]

NECC is just a few days away which means the chatter is getting louder. I always love listening and reading first timers to NECC. It will be my fourth NECC and I’m looking forward to the conversations…always the best part! As it gets closer I’m starting to set up my computer to best follow the conversation and thought I’d share […]
(Full Disclosure: I am the Educational Ambassador for Wetpaint.com) Last Friday I was invited by Wetpaint to stop by their Seattle office for a “show and tell” session as well as discuss how the educational site was running and the needs of educators who use Wetpaint. The Show and Tell was fun as each department showed off what they were […]

I had all intention of writing a final blog post from NECC on what I was thinking the last day of the conference and where do we go from here, but you know what…it’s summer time and right now my priorities are with spending time with friends and family. We’re down to just 3 1/2 weeks before we fly out […]
So the first full day of NECC 2008 comes to an end and I find myself thinking more about conferences, how to create them, manage them, and make them relevant to participants then I thought I would. Have I mentioned the conference we’re doing in Shanghai? 🙂 I’ve been thinking a lot about spaces and how important it is to […]
Back from EdubloggerCon for the day and taking a break in the hotel room, catching up on the latest NECC chatter and reflecting on the day. I was worried before I got here of two things: 1. That EdubloggerCon this year would be different, to big, to scripted, and not unconference enough for me.2. That the NECC Unplugged sessions would […]
Landed in San Antonio today around 1:30 from Seattle. Left at 5:15am….is it bad when a 5 hour flight seems short and you actually look forward to sleeping upright on the plane? We arrived with not air trouble, checked in and then drove back to the airport to pick up my sister-in-law. We only have 5 weeks this summer to […]
