ACEC 2008 Conference

Been away in Canberra for the last week - most importantly for the Australian Computers in Education Conference - but also a guest gig at the Australian Boarding Schools Conference. Links to my presentation notes on my wiki are ACEC and ABSA.
My thinking out loud ...........what amazes me is the huge up take of Interactive Whiteboards and yet we are still saying the are not being used appropriately ... I sat through presentations by university people, consultants and classroom practitioners. The bottom line is that it doesn't matter what type of board there is but how it is being used. Hmmmm the pedagogy of the IWB....watch this space!!!!!
The development of Web2.0 tools the impact for education continues to build ... mobile technologies. ...... To wikipedia or not to wikipedia ...... I have the philospohy of experiment and learn ....don't run away and hide .... because education and schools are not keeping up with the toys (computer, mobile phone, wii) at home.
