Partly as an exercise in personal autonomy (we’re doing a workshop on “Personal Learning Environments”<\/a> so what better way than to walk the talk) and partly just in a fit of pique that the conference itself wasn’t already doing something, I created this netvibes page<\/a> to aggregate the activity from the on-going WCET conference in Phoenix<\/a>. It took about 30 minutes to put it together (except for the scraping of the conference schedule, which took 3 minutes once Tony Hirst<\/a> showed me how to do it with the =importHtml function in Google spreadsheets<\/a> – thanks Tony!)<\/p>\n

I sent it round WCET and everyone seemed impressed, and we showed it in our PLE Workshop<\/a> yesterday, but alas I fear I have given birth to a non-life supporting planet. You see – there is NO CONFERENCE WIFI<\/em><\/strong>. I am sitting in a session right now on “Disruptive Innovations” with about 30 people in it, and mine is the only laptop out (N.B. I was ‘permitted’ to use the secret back-door account, which despite my desire to protest in solidarity, I cannot help but make use of.) So the lingr backchannel<\/a> that Chris<\/a> set up is likely not going to see a lot of action, nor don’t expect a whole lot of tweets on the #wcet08 channel<\/a> (despite the fact that there are at least 8 active twitter users here that I know of, plus many whom I don’t know yet). Sigh. Anyways, for those at the conference who do get online through the overpriced connections in their room, here you go, Planet WCET’08. Feels a bit like Pluto<\/a>… – SWL<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
