Earlier this week I sat down with Dr. Maren Deepwell to chat about the Irish Learning Technology Association (ILTA) conference Ed Tech 26. This event celebrates that organization’s 25th anniversary, so it should be a doozy.
Maren and I discuss the tentative feelings surrounding the slow return to in-person conferences, something neither of us have been in the swing of since COVID. More than that, we preview our respective talks which was a lot of fun. I’m doing a fairly bizarre 20 minute presentation about “Building a Blog You Can Walk Into,” and Maren’s feedback was not only encouraging, but it inspired me to final polish off my slides. She is digging in on all the wonderful Reclaim Hosting Case Studies she’s been working on over the past year.
Finally, we concluded with a discussion of the current moment wherein the value of openness (something that has defined our work for more than a decade) has become rather contested in the field of edtech. So, if you’re game, you get all that under 30 minutes—it’s a deal at any price! 🙂
YEAH! I am really looking forward to this and recording this was such fun… 🙂
Thanks for the nudge on this one, it came out great. You’re a rockstar.
