Just filled in form for Josie Fraser�s first EduBloggers conference which looks to be an exciting event

The conference structured around two framework themes. These cut across the educational sectors and are crucial to life-long education provision that meets the needs and abilities of all learners - provision that is vital to empower learners as citizens within multiple communities and in preparing the UK to participate creatively, technologically and economically on a global scale.
1. Deployment of weblogs and related technologies within educational institutions and the learning and teaching environment: navigating risk (morning sessions)
2. Blogging as community practice: impact of weblogs on current and future Personal Learning Environments (afternoon sessions).
These will be scrutinised in terms of infrastructure and technical implementation; applied pedagogy: policy and institutional strategy; training, support and development; e-safety and resilience; and literacy in a digital age.
