Hi all,

   I had problems with the server the wiki is on so I’ve taken it offline for maintenance. It’ll be back as soon as I’ve finished revamping it, spare time permitting.

I’ve noticed that any new comment on an old posting causes the newest posting in the blog to be raised to the top of the summary list. If anyone knows a fix I’d welcome suggestions.

If we get budget I’ll pay someone to investigate.

This blog system is a great way to continue the conversation with the people at the conference, and to tell the world-at-large your thoughts.

If you presented or had a poster you can upload that paper or poster.

Everyone can then comment on your work, and you can get feedback.

Together we will show the world the number and caliber of people who use conceptmapping, how much we love it and how it can change the nature of learning and communication.

See my presentation - Why the community will benefit by blogging

This presentation also shows (from page 16) the basics of making your first posting.

Welcome to Blogs.conceptmapping.org.

Do you use concept maps? Are you curious how other people use them? This is a place to connect with others about their use. Here you can connect with like-minded people before, during and after the Second International Conference on Concept Mapping.

This is a multi-user blog site. You can create a blog here for your own use. This will appear like http://martincleaver.blogs.conceptmapping.org

Here’s some things you can use this site for…

• Discuss your travel plans in Costa Rica…
  • Will you arrive early? Do you want to meet up with others? When do you leave?
  • Have you a place to stay? Do you need recommendations or a roommate?
  • Do you have time to travel? What do you want to see?
• Introduce yourself to other conference attendees
  • What are your experiences with conceptmapping in the last 2 years?
  • Have you found an innovative application for conceptmapping?
  • Do you have special skills, capabilities or software that you would like to share with others?
• Talk about your expectations of the conference
  • Who do you want to meet?
  • Do you want to create an informal get-together to talk about a subject not on the conference agenda?
  • Have you planned which sessions you will attend? Have you read the papers by the presenters? Do you have questions that you want to ask before the session? (This site can give you the opportunity to get those questions asked).
