Come to BLC

(cross posted at TechLearning)

This week, I’m at the Building Learning Communities Conference put on by the Alan November group. I attended last year, and it was by far the best conference I’ve ever been to. This year is already shaping up to be of the same caliber.

I’d like to invite you to join us this week by heading over to my blog, “Bit by Bit” where I’ll be posting any podcasts that I record at the conference. It may take me a few days to get the podcasts posted, but I’ll keep adding them as quickly as I can and whenever I can get bandwith here (in the lobby). Already I’ve been able to post 2 shows: Ewan McIntosh’s Keynote and Alan November’s presentation on Web Literacy (both amazing!). You can also follow my constant updates on my “mobile blog,” called “Bob Sprankle’s Scratch Pad.”

The easiest way to “join” the conference is to search out posts (and podcasts and ustreams and wikis and many other offerings) by many people who are physically attending by searching for the tag that has been agreed upon. Tags are ways that people can flag others down to their posts or resources that then can be searched by a tool such as Technorati. To get you started, here is the result page of the search of the tags everyone is using at the conference: BLC08. Though we hope for establishing one agreed upon tag, there are always derivations, and you may find more posts under “blc2008,” or perhaps simply “blc.”

Also, here is a great NetVibes page put togethter by David Truss that captures many feeds connected to the conference.

Try to find other BLC08 treasures and add them in the comment section of my Bit by Bit blog to share with others. Thank you in advance, and enjoy the conference!
