Wanna attend a conference?
Once again I’m not there but I really am there! That to me is still so incredible.I am getting to attend the 2005 Building Learning Communities conference while sitting at my desk right here in Atlanta. I have to say that Steve Dembo really
knows how to blog a conference. I bet I am nowhere
near as exhausted as Steve must be at the end of each day but then again I’m not getting to be a part
of the up close and personal learning conversations that always occur at
conferences. However, it’s so cool to be able to “attend” thanks to
bloggers like Steve. Start with his first post, From Liverpool to Fenway, and continue upward on his blog. You, too, can attend! Just think about tracking the attendance in this way! I like it!
Steve starts off with what is superb about this conference.
“That’s one of the best things about this conference; the
presenters are so accessible to the attendees. At NECC, the odds of me being
able to talk to Joel Barker were about 1 in 1000 (unless I stood in line to
have in sign a book I guess). Same thing goes for smaller presenters.”
Steve
posts in great detail the sessions he attends PLUS he gives you his
thoughts, makes connections to his previous learning, posts relevant
links, shares ideas and the fun. Plus he writes in such a way
that his personal voice comes through loud and clear. This is blogging
at its best!
