Learning@Schools08
I’ve got a presentation coming up and I need your help…..If you are attending Learning at Schools 08 and are up for what I have termed ‘an open mike discussion’ on the role, responsibility and directions schools have in the 21st century please sign up.
I don’t presume to have all the answers but as regular reads of my blog know I’m great at asking questions….
The session will consider the ‘Did you know?’ material from Karl and Scott and consider where NZ sits in this global community and what educators of the ‘next geeneration’ need to do to enable NZers to secure their national future.
We will also consider New Zealand Unleashed and the ideas put forward by Steven Carden.
The more people who attend with ideas and views of this future the better the session will go and the more chance we have of affecting this change.
Please post ideas and comment regarding themes, ideas for discussion and thought about how to incorportate the attending audience and the global community… Chrissy and I have talked about the value of twitter, UPSTREAM but that’s as far as our 10 minute discussion got, any thoughts?
I am setting up a live blogging widget on my blog that may help to involve other people that can’t be there in space but can be there in time- it wold be less of a bandwidth issue than live streaming in Ustream.
To be honest I am more looking forward to meeting up with the blogging team than the keynote speakers- workshops should be good though.
Got to be in quick with selection of workshops so I get what I want to go to with my first choice.
What is your presentation titled?
Not presenting anything this time round so I will be able to soak it all in. Pity Derek Wenmoth can’t be there this time- he would have some good thoughts to add to the mix.
The title of my breakout is ‘Did you know?… New Zealand’ I’m not sure which breakout it is at present. If someone finds out please comment! Thanks everyone for your input. I’m meeting soon with Chrissy to discuss logics so your ideas are really going ot help. Thanks.
All set up now and ready to go!

Had a bit of trouble embedding it on Edublogs so put it in Blogger.
Never used the tool before but it allows the feature of instant messaging from remote listeners to involve people who aren’t in the room.
