Christine, thank you very much for your feedback. I was really unsure of the way to handle the Centra presentation angle and looking back (hindsight is a wonderful thing) I think Mike did it best by preparing a screencast that he knew everyone could see that could show things in action. I agree that having the URL's first would be ideal, even in the live audience those with laptops could have used the open edc wireless and checked out sites as we spoke. I think that the TSOF crew did such an excellent job that people like Al and I could just stroll in, mic up and go - but your suggestion about prior URL's is definitely one to pass on. If your mind has been boggled and you want to explore the possibilities more, then the showcase achieved its aim. Me not showing exactly how to edit a wiki doesn't really matter on those terms. Maybe we'll see you at one of the workshops? Thanks Doug, it does look like Mike was slumped on the desk when he took the pic!

I found the content really confronting. I use the internet daily -- but had no idea of the ways in which others are using the Internet as a platform/network/info retrieval system. I had heard of blogs and RSS, but hadn't realised the impact of the technology when the information comes to me. I've been working away teaching about using computers as tools to support learning. The possibilities are simply mind-boggling. I suspect your audience was pondering the impact and implementation of the ideas presented. For next time --- I would suggest giving the Centra attendees access to the URLS in the beginning rather than at the end. It would have enabled me to follow along better as I could explore the sites while you were talking. Graham – you couldn’t see the seriousness on my face, as I was one of the Centra attendees.
