Comments on: First and Last NECC…perhaps http://doucwhatic.edublogs.org/2008/06/19/first-and-last-neccperhaps/ What I do with what I see...

I just finished reading a reply from ISTE that basically said the policy has always been there...I just can't seem to find it anywhere online...perhaps it's all in the way you read the legal notice, and they are just now getting around to making it clear because they are anticipating so much more of it this year. I do understand that ISTE is the biggest game in town, and I do have some ideas that I will share with them concerning the organization and pre-planning of podcasting and ustreaming sessions. I think other conferences will be waiting to see how this all plays out for sure. I guess only time will show the ripple effect. @sylvia- I may be wrong on the policy thing, so you may have no need to stand corrected.

I stand corrected on both of them. However, I think ISTE is still the biggest game in town for tech educators, so since you are now a member, why not step up and tell them what you think the policy should be? It's not set in stone. And as far as a chilling effect on other conferences, I wonder if it will be exactly the opposite. This increased awareness of the fine print that everyone typically ignores may change smaller conference's policies for the better, as they make sure they are seen as progressive and responsive.

I was very excited to attend virtually last year. This year I don't know about ticks, but the wind is gone from my sails. I hope you do come to Educon2.1 – Philly is great fun!
