While my afternoon classes enjoyed grade-9 field day, I attended Canadians Connected 2010: the Annual General Meeting of the Canadian Internet Registration Authority.
Keynote speakers Terry O'Reilly and Mitch Joel spoke about the importance of presenting Canadian culture and values in our web publications and on being “present and listening where people are” in the “real-time Web.”
A distinguished panel of Internet pioneers talked about the early days of the .ca domain (which now has more than 1.4 million registered names), important technical issues confronting the Internet (there's less than one year before the Internet runs out of addresses), and how Google believes the Web is becoming “mobile, social, and local.”
It was a great opportunity to attend this meeting, and I'm sure that the information and ideas discussed will help me do my part in educating young Canadians to be connected in 2010—and beyond!
