My opinion is that this was one of the things I most benefited from. I’ll join you in defending the informality. My opinion is that this was one of the things I most benefited from.

I wonder if the classroom 2.0 meet up had been held separate from Edublogger Con would that have helped? I think many, including myself, wanted to recreate the atmosphere that was found last year in Atlanta, but with so many unknown people it was difficult. I did however strive to cultivate discussions with a few new faces since they were present, and some of these discussions were healthy and mind stroking for me. Example-->Carolyn Foote and Virginia ___(cant think of her last name right now) who both are school teacher librarians like myself. Neither were in attendance last year. I also fretted about the room set up thinking it as not conducie to conversations where everyone would feel they had equal footing. The typical conference set up kind of also kept the conversations form flowing, and kept the wallflowers there on the walls. Oh well. I did very much enjoy the filtering session. It felt very much like Educon and EdubloggerCon from last year. One issue brought up was the large numbers –200+.
