A Pretty Good Substitute

If like me, you will not be going to NECC in San Diego next month, you can still share in some of the information coming out of the conference sessions.

The NECC organizers have assembled a long list of folks who will be blogging and/or podcasting what they see and hear.

Of course, it would be nice to actually be there to experience the energy that’s always a big part of a conference the size of NECC. But I think I’ve got a pretty good alternative to going to San Diego.

A couple of weeks after NECC, I’ll be headed to Boston to attend Alan November’s Building Learning Communities conference. He’s put together an amazing group of presenters, which, in a small group setting, should offer some amazing opportunities to connect.

However, the icing on the cake, is that some of us will also be spending half a day at the MIT Media Lab for a hands-on workshop!

Sorry, NECC. That alone is worth missing the conference this year.

    Tim,

    You are right! Attending Alan November’s conference is quite a boon with the time at MIT Media Labs the icing. I had the opportunity to attend an extended session with Alan at the So. Cal. CUE conference in April. It was the highlight of my conference. (Though take his issues with Google with a grain of salt – Ask.com is good, but so too can Google – IMHO.)

    I am one of the folks that will be blogging from NECC and am looking forward to the conference. Hope you can give us readers a taste of the Building Learning Communities conference as well as an eye into your visit to MIT.

    Of course I’ll be blogging from BLC! :-) I’m not so sure about being able to take pictures at the Media Lab. It would be nice but I’m not counting on it.

    As to NECC, I am counting on being able to read about and hear much of what is going on in the sessions. But I will miss actually attending.
