Just finished my talk ‘How can 2 work for you?’ - at the CEGSA AGM from the EDC in Hindmarsh, South Australia.
UPDATE: Oops had e/mails about the bad links to the movie - sorry, fixed now. As a bonus, wander over to http://fang.blip.tv/ if you want editable versions of all my video stuff for your own mashups.
I had one of those afternoons from hell trying to get my video onto a DVD so I wouldnt need to much around with computers. Of course, I failed and had to run the videos off my laptop (and yes, I forgot the power adaptor and my mobile phone in all the rush). So, I rushed the first half of the talk worrying about batteries.
The talk was beamed througout South OZ via centra, unfortunately without videos. So, as promised, here are links to the powerpoint and video from my talk.
The 30 minute video featuring Kevin Richardson (which was the inspiration for my talk and video mashup) is available via Microsoft’s on10.net - ‘the geek stories’.

Mike, the presentation was great and had a few squirming in their seats (I think) but then I’m a member of the choir. Blancmange takes on a new meaning which is why it’s important to generate discussion about the bigger issues like filtering, online identity, intellectual property and so on rather than teaching other educators about the latest greatest tool (not that twitter isn’t cool!!) that will soon be replaced by something more diverse and original than the tool beforehand. Hmmm… I think that there are a few posts brewing here. Thanks for the cerebral fibre, Mike.

Sorry, this bugs me and tells us something about engaging with the conversation here in the CEGSA community. It’s Thursday and I’m still the only comment here. Mike, I’m disappointed that the assembled crowd at the EDC is yet to engage - maybe they’ll respond better in the EDNA walled garden.

Thanks for your stimulating presentation Mike. There is an ever widening ICT gap between an ageing teaching workforce and the digital generation they teach. I think it is not necessary for all teachers to become enthusiastic users of the new web 2.0 tools but at least have an understanding of these tools, the digital generation they teach and how they can be a part of classroom learning. What a great opportunity for our students to be the leaders in learning. Year 2 students often teach me new things.
