And I'm back from Online Educa Berlin 2010. It's one of the milestones of my professional year, and a delight to visit this unique city once more. In the next posts I'll cover various sessions of the conference, including my own 3 interventions; at the Homo Competens workshop, the battle of the bloggers or the session on learning in 3 dimensions.
The atmosphere at this conference was even warmer than it usually is. After so many years (I think it was my 5th or 6th time) it gives the feeling of a family reunion too, but then only if you have a family that consists of the world's top minds on learning. Maybe it was the snow outside (it should snow with OEB, f*ck global warmin), the trouble some participants went through to travel there this year, or maybe the organizers spiked the water, but the vibes were great. I'm looking back at exhausting and intensive days, starting from the first minutes of my workshop where a participant volunteered to 'push my button' while I distributed my books, until the concluding drink with my favorite Online Educa virgin (newbee) at the Marlene bar.
The only thing I'm missing a bit is the fact there is no dominant theme any more. But hey, that's a fact of life, or more precisely of the network age we live in. There is so much going on in the field, on all kinds of domains, from all kind of angles. A single dominant theme would make things simpler, but that's just not realistic.
Anyway, before we move on to the sessions, here is Halleluja Berlin (in Brandenburg soll es wieder Wölfe geben)
