CoSN

Ed-Tech Leaders Convene in Austin

This week I am in Austin, Texas, at the annual conference of the Consortium for School Networking, a key group based in Washington, with a national membership of school administrators who make decisions about technology, teacher-leaders, university professors and researchers, vendors, and various consultants and government officials.

CoSN has a quality program each year, and the scale of the meeting is small enough that you don’t feel absolutely mind-boggled by the end, as you do at some of the mega-conferences in this field. And there’s a good chance that people you meet will have attended some of the same sessions, beyond the keynoters, which aids in conversation.

Yesterday, March 10, I took in most of the related international symposium—titled “Does Web 2.0 Belong in Schools?” I’ll be at the regular CoSN program today, but need to miss tomorrow to attend a funeral in NYC. As time permits, over the next week I will blog about some of the presentations, ideas, and personalities that impressed me at the conference.
