People are starting to arrive to the Sunday conversations, and I’m really psyched. Last night at Fort Mason was great…good food, some live guitar playing in the background, and a lot of great conversation. (For some great pics, go to the unofficial NCTE EdWeblogs site.) My highlights were meeting some people who can count me as a fan: Karen McComas, Tom Hoffman, Terry Elliot, Jake Savin, Al Delgado, Cathie English, Josh Allen and others. We had some pretty serious (yet fun) early conversations on things like the creation of a tool just for teachers and schools, barriers to entry for teachers, what the future holds and more. I’m looking forward to today as I think it’s going to generate a whole slate of other conversations we need to start having if we’re going to make this happen. Unfortunately, the connection is a bit spotty, so post during the sessions may not be happening. But I’m sure there will be much to say later today.
