Comments on: EduBloggerCon I http://weblogg-ed.com/2007/edubloggercon-i/ Learning with the Read/Write Web Tue, 19 Jul 2011 20:36:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: EduBlog Insights » Blog Archive » EduBloggerCon2007 http://weblogg-ed.com/2007/edubloggercon-i/comment-page-1/#comment-25705 EduBlog Insights » Blog Archive » EduBloggerCon2007 Mon, 25 Jun 2007 10:30:31 +0000 http://weblogg-ed.com/2007/edubloggercon-i/#comment-25705 [...] The first EduBloggerCon was quite an event and many interesting and passionate conversations have occurred. There is so much to think about. We know change needs to occur but how to get that change in motion is the tough question. After the sessions I reflected on the many good ideas and thought about all the energy in the rooms, the good ideas, the good discussions. A nagging thought kept lurking somewhere in my mind and got in the way of my thinking of all the wonderful possiblilities that could occur for student learning with some needed changes. High-stakes testing is the cloud that I could not get cleared away from my thoughts. I still think that high-stakes testing continues to be our biggest obstacle for needed change in education. Until we can change that I fear we are going to keep spinning our wheels in all other areas. Here’s the podcast from Chris Lehman and Will Richardson’s session on “Getting Our Blogs in a Row: Crafting a Compelling, Cogent Message for Change”: See the wiki. Then check this excellent follow-up post by Christopher Sessums. Check out the group picture at EduBloggerCon The sessions were great and Steve Hargadon has done an absolutely terrific job putting it all together. Thanks Steve for making it happen!

I only wish I could make as many different connections as you guys are making at conferences (and unconferences). Unfortunately, being a kid means the vast majority of meetups are out of my reach. I'd love to see how we can expand these kind of informal unconferences into a virtual setting. Sounds great.
