• @philklein @kanter …we’re often the ones teaching *others* and we don’t get to connect with each other. We’re the NTC veterans. (2/2) #
• @philklein I’d prefer an #unconference (eg: barcamp). There’s minimal structure, but it helps to sort people and ideas out of chaos. #nptech in reply to philklein #
• @philklein I don’t get that unconferences are presentation-oriented. They’re also an opportunity for deeper learning, conversation, fun. in reply to philklein #

• . @jennababin Good job on The Story today. I liked the juxtaposition of civil rights history and gay rights today. in reply to jennababin #
