 Send to email | AECT convention wrap-up in AECT |  By Trey Martindale
el 31-Oct-2007 | The AECT annual convention has come and gone, and it’s a bit of a blur. I’m in the second year of a three year term on the Board of Directors. This means an all day meeting before the convention, and a half-day meeting afterward. Lots of volunteered time by about 15 board members. Ward Cates is the outgoing President, and now Pat Miller is the incoming President and Mary Herring is the President-Elect.
I was asked by the nominating committee to run for “President-Elect Designee”, and I agreed. So, Mike Spector of Florida State and I will be on the ballot for this position in the January election. We both gave a brief speech during the membership meeting at the convention. I’ll write more about that later.
Stephen Downes was one of the keynote speakers, and he did something unusual during his initial talk–he put up a live chat screen the audience could see for a back-channel conversation during his talk. It ended up distracting both him and the audience, as a few people (or possibly one fast typist) posted some snarky comments.
Overall the convention seemed to go well. Planning the conference is a complex, distributed, time-sensitive task, and it is done mostly by volunteers. One issue was we had some inaccuracies in the print program, based on some late changes and miscommunication. So, we need to figure out how to reduce the number of versions of the planning documents and schedules so that the planners are all on the same page, quite literally. One quick fix is to use an online spreadsheet (such as a Google doc) as opposed to sending around versions of a document.
I hear that the conference was in Anaheim. From my point of view, it was in a series of hotel conference rooms. (That means I didn’t get out much).
