I relieved the geek squad student after the first round, and was too wrapped up in taking my own notes to man the camera adequately. Yet another casualty of the last-minute-idea - and something to keep in mind for next year. In fact, next year, I'd really like to have a more comprehensive video portion to our online conference. Perhaps post events as they happen and see if we can get some online responses to the videos as well. Ah, unfortunatly, I don’t.

If those putting on education conferences are really focused on the dissemination of ideas and best practices (which I'd hope they are) then providing subsequent access via online videos and podcasts to session materials and actual presentations is a GREAT idea. Do you have video clips of the other comments during the panel? I actually thought my 2nd "go" at comments might have come across better than the first. Thanks for your comment as well as your work in sharing these videos online! Next year you might just include a statement in the speaker's contract about granting permission to share online copies of videos taken during the conference.

I'm glad that you don't seem to mind, although in retrospect, my own 'instructive moment' was that - duh- I should have asked in advance. You are correct- we do live in transparent times; which is exactly why we need to be even more vigilant about respecting the privacy of others. Ironically, this is something I always talk to students in my video classes about. It seems I was caught up in the "2.0" aspect of our conference - as you know, our goal was to have people from all around the world be a part of our conference by participating online. This seemed like a good way to bring the conference to them. Anyway, we all have our 'duh' moments once in a while, and this was one of mine. Even though it all worked out in the end (and your name is now corrected on the YouTube account), please accept my apologies - and thanks again for all of your contributions to our conference.
