Why am I signed up? I have a bit of a history with this conference.
My journey into the world of Web2.0 – the interactive/participatory web, where we create and share content rather than just seek information – started with a webcast of Alan November that challenged me to start my first blogging project with students.
Next, my commitment to consistently keeping a personal blog got started a little later. An early inspiration was the K12 Online Conference 2006 keynote webcast by David Warlick. I wrote a post in response, which I did after the conference was over… welcome to the anytime, anywhere experience of an online conference. However, it is even more engaging to participate during the conference when you can interact and learn with other participants… Join the Learning Conversations!

Here it is, short-and-sweet: My plate was too full to participate! I was so busy building the Graduation Transitions program that all I did was listen to the keynote and I was done. Since then I have followed up a bit, with the highlight being an introduction to “Unprojects” as served up by Chris Harbeck. I find it somewhat ironic that I added to the title of this post, “(at your leisure)” and then had no leisure time to participate. …and now here I am: Trying to move my blog post-by-post, reflecting along the way; Learning the ropes as a new VP; Trying to be a great husband and father; Trying to get back into shape (I spent an hour on the treadmill today); and trying to prepare 3 presentations for BLC08. Leisure time will resume in August:-/ |
