Where’s the Blogging at the Blogger Summit?

May 15th, 2008

The Education Blogger Summit sponsored by ED in ’08 is going on today just up the road from here.

For an event calling itself a “blogger summit” it’s amazing how few blog posts about the sessions there are to be found. Four so far, two of them not directly about the content of the meeting.

I ran across one reference to Sylvia doing a Ustream of Newt’s keynote but I missed the live feed and can’t find a recording of it yet. Hopefully she’ll post a link.

From the traffic being generated by this “summit”, I can only conclude that my earlier rant on the subject was correct.

This is a political gathering that has nothing to do with blogging (only four of the twenty speakers listed have a link to anything).

And from the agenda it also appears to have very little to do with genuine education reform.

    Hi Tim,
    I have a draft of my reflections sort of started. It’s hard because it was not at all what I expected. The program had an odd assortment of presentations and panels and nothing about Ed in 08. I hope to have it posted soon, but as you say, don’t expect much about education reform…
