#lra18 Remote/hybrid conferences quite doable now. I organize them all the time. Though it would probably fail in bylaws and committees.....if it turned out like to be anything like trying to get the YouTube show approved through the board.....that was pure hell.....
It was exhausting work #lra18. Constant filming on Flip cams (I think) tired elbows, chasing down release forms, editing all night. Took away from conference experience. We also had youth podcast that year. @vconnecting sessions showing what's possible
@GracePigozzi #lra18 To be fair the tech, and more importantly bandwidth wasn't there for awhile, conferences book 5-6 years out. Hotels used to (and still) jack you for wifi. We did experiment. One year the e-editors ran around recording sessions for YouTube.
@jtbartles love to bend your ear for a few and ask about the backend questions. Ten years ago it was, "Do we really need researchers who blog and use social media?" In retrospect the answer was yes. This is no different. Just a decade later. #lra18
We work openly but do not really broadcast our work due to privacy and safety concerns. Meaning everything is archived but you won't see tweets, posts, and public discussion. #lra18
@j_a_corrigan @elenaforzani You both should check out credible web W3C community group. I don't believe we can ever engineer our way past fake news but we (I'm more critic) developing vocabularies of meta data based off schema.org #lra18
If #lra18 had a remote ticket around $50 I would have bought it many others as well. Not only is remote friendly an equity and access issue its lost revenue. Been fighting for remote tix for almost a decade now. Maybe next year will be different.
I think the Board when they meet on Saturday should pass an emergency resolution banning the use of any @facebook platform for official LRA business given the revelations of the antisemititic attacks against George Soros. #lra18 #NoPlaceForHate
Hey #lra18 members Why still on @facebook and @instagram? A company that uses antisemitism to persuade Congress and investigates dissidents https://www.cbsnews.com/news/facebooks-sheryl-sandberg-requested-investigation-into-george-soros-finances/?ftag=CNM-00-10aag7e Don't pay lip service to equity diversity and #literacies and then live on a platform of hate
@j_a_corrigan I am a remote #lra18 attendee. I have greater flexibility. Though 17:00-18:00 est tough with three kids. Who else would enjoy a pop up session on new literacies assessment? Invite them pick a place and time. I will video chat in.
@j_a_corrigan we should grab Elena and and anyone else interested and do a meet up on new ltieracies assessment at some point today. I am sure we all have cool ideas to share #lra18
