This new community of edubloggers hosted on Ning was born four days ago and already has more than 100 participants .
How does it arise?
Details deserved an entire post, but Darren Draper, perhaps the main proponent of the idea, sums it up nicely in this post July 11. After the success of the EduBloggerCon an unconference before NECC conference in Atlanta, Vicky Davis, Julie Lindsay and Steve Hargardon thought to open a space for exchange with teachers from around the world.
Why?
create a scenario where the experience of meeting, not to replace dialogue in the blogosphere, but to connect and generate future edubloggers-face meetings or not, but international.
This is an opportunity to connect and, perhaps, a place to publicize blogfesor conferences in other languages.
Also in English
And the answer was immediate. Yesterday I learn by José Luis Cabello via Twitter EduBloggerWorld that already exists within a group with threads in English called Ñblog
. Today I contacted Boris Mir , its creator, and I decided to join. I see in the first comments from the group a topic that interests me, the differences between the Anglophone and Hispanic educational blogosphere. Engage in these conversations within a community could bridge language gap so, that few even aware it exists.
How nice it would open more dialogue in the blogosphere distributed education. How I would like to see other group initiatives in Portuguese, French ... And wikis with conclusions of conferences in different countries can be integrated and shared in some way.
may be the start of something big. Depend on how many join.
are invited.
