Today through Wednesday I am in Atlanta at the Educause Learning Initiative conference. Main conference site here here. They will be blogging and podcasting many of the sessions so those interested should trot on over to http://connect.educause.edu/term_veiw/ELI2007 (NB it is not live yet, since the sessions haven’t started!).
The sessions look interesting (but, in all honesty not as compelling as those in my academic discipline at SBL) and I am looking forward to peeking into a new field and hearing the pros speak. There will be some hands-on sessions (Apple is here doing some podcasting demos, etc.).
