The idea of a connected educator is nothing new, but the platforms through which educators can find other educators, share ideas, and learn are growing. With the feel of an in-person conference and the energy of an Edcamp, educators are finding this audio app is a new place to connect with educators from around the world.

I''ve spent the last several days attending the 2013 ASCD Annual Conference in Chicago. Educators from across the country and across the globe gathered to discuss pressing educational issues and talk about how we can all make teaching and learning better for kids, no matter where they are. I feel like something is missing.

For anyone who has seen me do a presentation at a conference, you may know that I also participate in the conference as well. Larger conferences, for example, intend on breadth over depth.

They know they have limits yet are constantly seeking minute improvements to continue growing themselves as an educator.

Technically, if one trusts the etymology, the best way for a teacher to confer with other educators would be an educator conference. Meanwhile, the most enthusiastic listeners whisper to each other, or form mini-groups outside the conference walls, maybe even at a social gathering later that day.
