Howdy Havocers,
Have been thinking over the past few weeks about the concept of a Geocaching Conference sometime next year.
Being a Geocacher, Teacher and Scouter I’m keen to organise a ‘forum’ of sorts in the shape of an unconference. Basically an ‘unconference’ is a conference without the boredom and drear involved. People can pick and choose what they want to participate in and most content is recorded and streamed.
I recently participated in a Moodle Moot in the UK and NZ. Both countries ran conferences on Moodle and although people were able to physically attend, ask questions, learn and participate there were a strong contingent of virtual attendees like myself enjoying podcasts, live streaming, twittering on the back channel questions and blogging interesting aspects of the conference.
I believe the Hunter Havocers have a lot to offer in the way of facilities and experience for such an event.
Have a think about it and please comment with your thoughts and vision.
Before you do, have a read of what an unconference is. Follow some of the links. I love the concept.
Open to suggestions.
Warm regards,
The Bronze.
