Next week, the CEGSA AGM will have the pleasure of a presentation from Mike Seyfang (aka the Fang) which will hopefully provoke the assembled masses into some sort of reaction, be it excitement or fear (or maybe a heady mix of both). Mike is an independent consultant specialising in mashing Web2 technologies and because he [...]

There are two people in this photo. One uses Web 2 tools – the other creates them. Just another super talented TALOian. Attribution: Image:DSCF4436 by mobology http://www.flickr.com/photos/mobology/415063507/
Leonard Low points out that an effective way of getting educators on board with new technologies is to focus on the outcomes gained by technology use, not the technologies themselves. He says:- By first demonstrating the application of technology, and providing a clear picture of the goal – how it might improve teaching and learning [...]
Been plodding around the web following leads out from my Bloglines and thought I’d share a few of the ones that have caught my attention. Rachel over at BardWired has a great post following the Tuanz Conference where Sheryl Nussbaum has been the keynote speaker. She reflects on that and raises points that I think [...]
Today I attended the Leaders session as part of the Dave Miller IWB Event, where there was an initial session by Dave, followed by a Leadership Panel where three principals presented their school’s journey and things for other schools to consider when implementing their own IWB program. More on that shortly. Dave started the session [...]
I volunteered to be a school based presenter at the “Want to know more about interactive whiteboards?” event being held over two days here at Flinders University and had about twenty eager teachers in my workshop.

More and more, I really think that leadership in schools is a tough gig. I said as much to my boss the other day and I am not at all sure that being a principal is where I’d want to be in X number of years. Looking at it more closely than I could when [...]
One of the conversational themes from the Friday part of the TALO SwapMeet/ Unconference was online identity. I gleaned some of the ideas on the table in conversation with Alex at day’s end and I can also asynchronously hear some of the actual discussion via some of his uploaded recordings. I’ll certainly see what sparks [...]
I’m feeling a bit tired and I’ve been a bit distracted all day long. I think some of it is mental fatigue as a result of having so many intriguing ideas floating around in my head from yesterday’s Day One of the TALO Swapmeet/ Unconference. In some ways, it’s just as well that the day [...]
Be warned. This post is going to swirl around several loosely linked topics and may lack coherence and substance. On Monday, I held an after school PD session (for want of a better title) for any interested teachers on using online video in the classroom. I had five keen participants who are all IWB users [...]
