I hadn’t heard. I’m not sure I’ll go, but if they have another photo camp, I’d definitely be interested…

Oh, I didn’t know it was his, I like his stuff! I stumbled across his blog somehow recently. Great pictures! I’m envious, someday….

I’m going to be brave this next year and go to moosecamp. Last year I just went to the conference. I was surprised at the variety of people there, not as geeky as I thought it was going to be and some people even brought their children (they were quite well behaved by the way).
For the post moosecamp activity I heard that they had a barbeque (in February!) in Stanley Park. I asked a UBC student how it was and he said (quote) “it was soooo cold, soooo very cold….”. Hmmm…I don’t know if I’d be game for that….he he

i just don’t blog enough anymore (actually, I just don’t blog well enough anymore) to feel like I should be part of a blogging conference. The photo thing sounds more my speed. I can hide behind my lens!

Terry:
Actually, not everyone that goes has a blog. As I recall there were a number of educators and journalists at the one I went to last year, and a number of them didn’t have blogs. It’s becoming a cultural phenomenon not only as citizen journalism but also as a tool in education.
It’s not unusual for blogging to be a component in credit university courses now. Way back in the day we might be asked to create a journal for a class. I had to do one for my Greek Myth and Legend class at university in the 80s. Of course we did it the old fashioned way and I (like my classmates) left it until the last minute using different coloured pens for each day to make it look like we really kept the journal. I think that online blogging is much better for something like this because it’s convenient and people can leave comments and create conversations. Very cool.
cheers,
Patricia
