BLC 25 Ed Tech Leaders
View more presentations from Lisa Thumann.
Lisa Thumann and Liz Davis (both who I wanted to meet, but they left the presentation I was in before I had a chance to introduce myself, actually I chickened out somewhat too!) created this wonderful slideshare of 25 Education Tech Leaders to follow, for the BLC09 conference. This was just one of the many, many, many wonderful presentations going on at the Building Learning Communities 2009 Conference held at the beautiful Park Plaza hotel in downtown Boston last week. I was fortunate to attend one day of the three. I wish I had the money to attend all of the days. I feel like I missed out on so much. There were so many of the wonderful people I follow on twitter and read their blogs who were presenting, but I was unable to see them all. I did introduce myself to a few though! Thank you to David Jakes and David Truss for not thinking I was a weirdo! It always feels so strange to say, "Hello, I love reading your blog and your twitter comments!" Hee - Hee... The best part was to finally meet my web2.0 mentor and teacher, Jeff Utecht, face to face! Very fun! Here is a podcast of Jeff's presentation at BLC09, thank you to Bob Sprankle!

Sorry that we didn't get a chance to meet. There's such a packed agenda at BLC, so many things to choose from. Glad to hear you enjoyed your one day there. Maybe next year you'll join us for EduBloggerCon East.

Kim,
I'm glad that you introduced yourself and if you ever get the opportunity again, introduce yourself to Lisa and Liz... they are two amazing educators!
It was my first time meeting David Jakes and Jeff Utecht too and they are both people I'd love to spend more time talking to! I had to leave the conference early and understand what it is like to feel like I've missed out... but the connections we make online can help remove that feeling.
Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go and let @kimtufts know that she has a new comment on her blog;-)
@lisa - thank you so much for posting here! :) Next time I will make sure I come say hello and now that I understand better about the EduBloggerCon, I will definitely attend!
@Dave Truss- Thanks so much for posting to my little blog! :) It was a great experience to attend the BLC09. I feel re-energized to go back to the classroom and work with my students. I really enjoyed your blog rules, and plan on incorporating them into my classroom this year! Talk with you soon and good luck in your new job..
SO great to meet you in person!!! Have a great year and you know if you need anything where to find me. :)
