Hey all you NZ edubloggers out there, want to put a face to the blog? The NZ Bloggers Cafe is happening this year at ULearn 07. Come along and engage with other bloggers in some lively debate about life, the universe and everything. This would also be a great place for ‘budding bloggers’ to come and learn some tips and tricks from ‘blooming bloggers’. The cafe will be open during morning tea and lunch breaks so come along and join in the discussions. The venue will be advertised in the conference handbook and I am told there will be some aromatic coffee available!
We will need people to help man the cafe during these break times, the idea for the cafe is twofold. The first is so that we can all get together and meet in person the minds we have been reading. The second is to be of help to other bloggers just starting out and who would like some tips and tricks. If you would like to help, please leave a comment.
I would like to kick the cafe off with a targetted discussion during lunch on the first day of conference. There has already been a suggestion of looking at the issues raised in the Karl Fisch presentations, if you have a topic you think would be a great one to get us started please also leave a comment.
I look forward to meeting my aggregator in person, there are some great bloggers in NZ and I’m sure there are some I haven’t discovered yet.

Great to see that ULearn is the place where we ask…”will the real-live bloggers please stand up, please stand up…” But Jane, are the “real” bloggers going to expose themselves to the scrutiny of F2F contact, or will they huddle in the dark recesses of Sky City Convention Centre, remaining just virtual voices??? LOL

Oh come on Nick- I have seen your face on the internet and F2F. It’s OK. Personally, I’m getting my hair done and have employed a body double! Money well spent! LOL

Jane the Blogger’s Cafe sounds like fun. However I could be a bit nervous to show my face to the “big guns” of todays educational blogs. So if you see a guy hiding in the corner - it’s me! he he

Don’t doubt the bling aspect of blogs - but as an educator not convinced as a teaching tool. As a long term user of computers in education I am concerned about the quality of the new toys in the box. Effciency and effectiveness still rule over bling to me.
