After years of attending conferences, armed with an open mind, a blank notebook, and a good pen, because I did not want the technology to get in way of the thinking and pondering I would often do during presentations, I have become the person who sits with laptop balanced precariously on my lap, with my iRiver t10 recorder around my neck capturing the precious thoughts, blogging the notes for all to have access to. I am now sitting and waiting for David Pogue to talk about the five technologies for the next five years at the Illinois Technology Conference for Educators.
It will be interesting to see if I am able to have the same ah-hah moments. I am sure that I will, but it will be interesting to see.
