We had a big headache last night finding a hotel with decent wireless, that would be affordable and on the South Harbor strip close to the AECT conference. Our original reserved hotel, Travelodge, had problems, as did the Best Western (although they have kudos for having a great manager trying to fix the problem).
Finally, we’re at the Quality Inn, which we’ve been satisfied with so far.
Why are so many having such problems with wireless? Is it the same contracted provider? One manager told us the fires and wind in this area of CA are the problem. I don’t know if I believe THAT…
We also ran into Stephen Downes yesterday. I’m looking forward to his presentation today. Once again, like I was at the Open Learning conference in 2004, I was impressed with him. Nice guy! I don’t always agree with his blog posts (but do I have anyone that I always agree with? No), but nice guy and he definitely gets the conversation going.
Good luck tonight, Stephen, looking forward to it.
