Especially when coupled with a group of educators discussing their practice. I have sited this post as a part of the confluence of influences to my post "Teaching: In Beta", my attempts to gather a group of local educators who can come together to discuss their practice in Beta time. Our own little edubloggercon, minus the blogger part, maybe more educon. Thanks for the inspiration. I love this idea of Beta time.

I just think it is time for some of us to help Steve w/ this. It is grown past what one person can do. He is wanting to form a group of people to help w/ next year and hope you'll join in. I applaud him for what he's done w/ basically no help from anyone. We need to help it go to the next level and maintain the unconference atmosphere we all cherish. I guess the think I disliked most was that so many people had criticisms of edubloggercon but so few people talked to Steve directly. Who would know so many wanted to come? It is time to grow and move ahead but we're going to have to pitch in. I enjoyed seeing you again and wished we’d had more time to chat. I just think it is time for some of us to help Steve w/ this.

I appreciate your thoughts about NECC. The ease of watching Saturday and Sunday from home was awesome. Now that I'm here, it is over the top! Oh, and I love the idea of "Beta Time!" Jeff,

Sorry you didn't get much out of the leadership session on Saturday. Glad you voted with your feet! I thought the Blogger's Cafe today was fabulous. I don't know what NECC Unplugged is going to do that atmosphere, but we can always decide as a group to dump it or move it if need be. I liked your note that we could've taken better control of Edubloggercon but didn't. If we need it, we have a second chance on Monday and/or Tuesday!
