I just saw a blog that appears to have been created solely as a means to interact, capture thoughts and ideas during the Brandon Hall Innovations conference. It's a great way for folks not at the conference to have a sense of what's going on there. And, I bet it is a fantastic learning and networking experience for the blogger. Kudos to the BH folks for encouraging this even if there were issues .

The Learning Technologies Conference in Portland, Oregon is happening as I type.  Christine Martell , Michele Martin and I are hosting.  There are a few things I wanted to point out as we are going through this: Learning and working are not exclusive.  They can happen at the same time.  We have such a tendency to separate them. Social Learning IS NOT training.  Unlike #1, we absolutely must separate these two.  Until we do we cannot grasp the advantages of using Web 2.0 tools for learning.  They fit very nicely together, but are not synonyms. Training = Delivery.  ...

Via Stephen Downes , I noticed this link of 25 Great Edublogs . It is an excellent list.
