It was an unconference at Starbucks. We had no vendors and no PowerPoint and we connected just fine. <br /><br />I'm meeting two friends who I only know through Twitter and blogs (Russ and Becky) and we'll have them over to dinner. <br /><br />I don't mind conferences and ISTE is better than most (sure beats the PLC conferences that try to get you to buy into an ideology)<br /><br />Still, I would love an unconference. Maybe you could create the Indie Teacher Unconference with no schedule, just hanging out. You could lead people in clamming and I'm sure we'd learn something about teaching in the process.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10956056168256756705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-13456136603845160202010-06-26T12:22:44.477-04:002010-06-26T12:22:44.477-04:00I didn't mean to come across the way I did (as...I didn't mean to come across the way I did (as usual!). I actually think your snark is well warranted. I've managed to attend ISTE two years in a row now and I'm glad for the chances to talk with lots of really smart people. I don't care too much about most of the sessions (in some ways that includes the one I'm co-presenting). So, I guess what I'm trying to say, poorly, is keep snarking about this!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04725549451973770515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-55872178569655824912010-06-26T11:55:54.140-04:002010-06-26T11:55:54.140-04:00Dear Jenny,

It actually happens around a bunch of different conferences because lots of folks are already in one place. To me, it's the greatest part of ISTE for my own learning. <br /><br />That said, I do have concerns about ISTE. A lot of what you are saying are valid concerns about many, many conferences (as I'm sure you are well aware). EduBloggerCon may not be perfect but it's about as close as it gets so far.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04725549451973770515noreply@blogger.com
