Random Jottings
This post is my last in connection with the recent Reform Symposium conference. It is in a sense an unconference piece: it is a reflection on some of the activity that has followed the conference itself.
There has been a lot of blog posting both by participants and presenters, with comments being made on those posts being made by many. It is an opportunity for people to come down from the highs of the conference – an opportunity to reflect on went well, and to ponder what might be done better next time – both forms of personal development.
I have also seen a lot of activity on Twitter, where everybody is exchanging ideas. This is another virtual venue for unconference activity: people are choosing parts of Web 2.0 space that best suits themselves.
The organizers’ suggestion of telling them about blog posts was brilliant.
In summary, this virtual conference has all the characteristics of a conference in a physical venue.
Phil thanks so much for taking on a major role
WithRSCOn. We couldn’t do this without you and Jo. I think this was our greatest event yet. It’ll definitely be hard to top this.
I completely agree with you that “this virtual conference has all the characteristics of a conference in a physical venue.” It was my 1st and I still can’t get over how much this was true. It has rejuvenated my love for technology. Although we were scattered in countries around the world, we were all brought closer through the power of the internet. I can’t wait for my next e-conference!
the hashtag #rscon is still going hot and strong just to remind us that it did happen! We are connected and still collaborating. not finished yet!
