2010 Reform Symposium Worldwide E-Conference July 31, 2010
Posted by nightfox in : Events , add a commentI was busy uploading the presentation slides and handouts of the speakers from the ICTED 2010 Conference (because today’s the last day of the event) on Slideshare when suddenly I stumbled upon the #rscon10 hashtag that was trending from my Twitter contacts on my Tweetie client.
Obviously, just like my post on EduBloggerCon and ISTE Conference, I also searched what the hashtag was all about and then the results landed me on the 2010 Reform Symposium worldwide e-conference. The event was about to end its first day of the online conference. Luckily, I was able to attend the closing keynote by Sue Waters.
So what is the 2010 Reform Symposium all about? This is the description I got from their website:
The Reform Symposium is a free online conference for educators, administrators, parents and students. This year the conference is focused on innovative practices in education and what role these practices can play in educational reform.
Links from the event are collated through Google Docs whereas the recordings of the presentations will be stored at the presenters’ pages.
See you there!

Last night, the hashtags #ebc10 and #iste10 were all over my Twitter public timeline and those were tweets that were posted by my edtech contacts from other countries. After doing a Google search, I discovered that the hashtags were about two events, the EduBloggerCon 2010 and the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Conference 2010.
