ASCILITE 2006 success
I was up in Sydney on Monday and Tuesday to be a technical helper at ASCILITE 2006. I had been invited because University of Sydney and the CoCo research centre organised it this year. It was great to catch up with some of my cohort and several people from past lives.
The event was staged at the Conservatory of Music, a terrific venue. I stayed in Kirribilli, so just need to take the ferry across the harbour to get there. And the train was nearby to take me straight to the airport when my time was up.
Unfortunately, due to my obligations to look after certain rooms and ensure speakers got their slide decks into the Macs used for presentations, I didn't see too many different papers. However, when I did have a few minutes, I was lucky to see some good ones. What surprised me was how many people were talking about consensus-building and dialogue, but in an educational context. This really made me feel like I'm in the right space with my evolving passion for deliberation.
