Here comes EduBloggerCon 2009!

This Saturday, June 27th, EduBloggerCon 2009 will be held in Washington D.C. right before the start of the NECC conference. The schedule for the day is taking shape on the event wiki, and I’m looking forward to attending some great sessions.

I don’t have a crystal ball, but I’d be willing to bet Pearson won’t be there again as they were last year with a videography team. :-)

It’s hard to predict how many folks will show up, but I’d guess attendance will approximate last year in San Antonio.

With a larger group, some might think it is inevitable that the dynamics are different and WORSE than they could be with smaller numbers. I was not able to attend EduBloggerCon 2007, but I understand that event had a much different “feel” than EduBloggerCon in 2008. I’m disappointed Steve Hargadon has opted not to utilize a “BarCamp model” for this year’s EduBloggerCon, but none-the-less I’m expecting a fun day of learning and conversations.

In the session I’m hoping to facilitate discussing the 2009 K-12 Online Conference and the new features proposed by this year’s conveners, I definitely hope we’ll have a discussion together rather than just hear from a small, limited number of folks. It will be interesting to see how the day develops and the dynamics of different sessions which have been proposed!
