Like Vicki Davis, I too enjoy conferences…and she is right, it IS ALL about the people you meet and get to hear. She points us to another conference (this one on-line) later this month (wow…is it May already??!!).

WiAOC (Webheads in Action Online Convergence) will take place on the web on May 18-20. Unfortunately, that is a long weekend here in Canada and I have scheduled for a getaway with my wonderful much better half, but I will try and catch some of the proceedings on the Friday before I leave, and will definately catch up on the post-conference offerings when I get a chance.

The lineup looks interesting, with some new names and ideas that I haven’t had much/any exposure to in the past.

One person that I hope to get to hear is Stephen Downes. Stephen lives/works less than two hours away, but seems to play in a wider circle than the provincial education system of which I am a part. This is kind of disappointing – we have this obviously interested and interesting person in our midst that may have much to offer, and we have not reached out to make use of his knowledge. I believe that’s an email I’ll have to make shortly.

Technorati tags: education, teaching, technology, Stephen Downes
