Finally! An Ed Tech Conference "Gets It”

I’m home for a few days, and took a minute, this morning to leaf through my mail. I won’t even tell you how old some of this stuff is. But one of the items near the top of the stack was the brochure for the 2007 CUE Conference in Palm Springs next year. I picked it up and scanned through, paying particular attention to the invited speakers (Deneen Frazier Bowen, Peter Reynolds, and Will Richardson). This is certainly going to be a hot conference.

But what really caught my attention was CUE Correspondents. It says,

Are you a blogger, vlogger, or podcasters? Bring your tools to Palm Springs and join our growing ranks of conference correspondents.

Then, and this is what I’ve been waiting to see,

Be sure to tag your posts with recommended tags: cue2007, cue07, or cue.

This is the elemental step for creating a web 2.0 multi-dimensional conference, and this is the first time I’ve seen it published by the conference itself. Outstanding job, Mike Lawrence and the rest of the forward looking folks at CUE.

  1. Hi David

    Sure hope to see you at CUE…..it is such a GREAT conference.

    It is also good to see that they are announcing to be prepared to blog and podcast — hmmm, I will have to check to see what vlogging is. It makes it nice for those who can’t attend and makes it a better conference for those of us who are there as well to pay better attention as we take notes. 🙂

    I have been following your blog and looks like you have been keeping busy!! Good for you.

    You are Appreciated.
    Enjoy your day
    Jennifer Wagner

  2. Hey, that really does sound it will be a good conference. And you’re right about spreading the word by making sure everyone uses the same Technorati tags. That’ll bring lots of publicity for sure!
