Upstate Technology Conference 2009

June 23, 2009

Its that time again! UTC is officially here. I arrived in Greenville, SC today. The official kick-off for the conference is tomorrow morning. Of course I have spent the evening prepping for my presentation tomorrow – Building a Classroom without Walls.

But the evening started with a little socializing with people from my Twitter Personal Learning Network. I met up with @crafty184 – Chris Craft, @cathyjo – Cathy Nelson, @Shirley8153 – Shirley Smith, @jmccotgcs – Jeff McCoy and met a new PLN member @sraweltz – Stephanie Weltz. I must say this is the best thing about attending conferences. The opportunity to talk and share with people who know your struggles and successes is refreshing.

One of the topics we discussed tonight was blogging. I haven’t blogged in months. Not because I haven’t had ideas but because I just haven’t had the time or should I say made it a priority. Being around these folks makes me want to make it a priority. Funny thing is… I have been carrying around hand written notes (who does that anymore) of a blog post on transparency that I have not written yet. So take this as my word, I will write the post… soon.
