Got the message below as a comment on my blog. I know I’m becoming a bit of a conference wh*re, with plans to go to NECC, DEN National Institute, SCUSD Summer Institute, FETC*CUE, but I’m wondering what attracted this group to me, since they are having Newt Gingrich and some Ed Sector folks there (maybe they thought I was “flirting” with EduWonk when I criticized him?)
Hi Ms. Mercer,
I just wanted to make sure that you were invited to our education “Blogger Summit”. We hope you can make it and feel free to share this invitation with any other bloggers in the area that might be interested. The invitation is attached below.

I got the invite too. Let’s not take it personally. I do want to see 2 million minutes.

I’ve seen the same comment posted on quite a few blogs
Perhaps we all need to educate them on the benefit of twitter.

I met some Ed in ‘08 people at the Teaching and Learning Celebration and we got to see 2 million minutes. Fabulous movie but they really wanted money to support their cause. I wonder how many people will go to the conference. Are you?

I wasn’t invited to the summit. I wasn’t invited to the nadir.
I have never given money to causes. Causes have given me very little in life, except grief.
You sure have a busy travel schedule set up for yourself this summer!
Me, I’m going on multiple, spontaneous trips to the nursery down the hallway from the master bedroom in my house. My wife and I have crafted a series of posters that will hang on a bi-weekly basis on the door of the nursery. Every other week, it’ll ‘feel’ like (’read’ like) we’ve entered a new, nursery-inspired locale.
A sampler:
- Baby Disneyland
- Fetal Fair
- St. Poopus
- NECC (Nightly Examination of Cribs Conference)
- Alan November
