This is another in a review series I’ve produced from earlier posts on my use of podcasts and podcasting production for learning and teaching. At a recent conference I was asked for samples of what I’ve created, so here I’m going to showcase a few of the podcast productions mentioned in the last post. 2007
Continue reading ...I’m often asked to comment on how I use Web 2.0 technologies, including blogs, iPods and podcasting in my teaching and learning projects. I presented on the topic a few times this year at conferences and a phone call this week from someone I met at the AUC Create World conference in Brisbane in late

Today was a cracker of a start to Create World 2007, even if the interactive playroom isn’t q-u-i-t-e available yet. Oh yes, it’s always the usually teeny techy glitches that spoil the party. Paul Draper’s

I’m presenting on what I’ve called ‘Permanent Beta’ as it applies to keeping up with the whole Web 2.0 thing as an educator. I’m going

Dean’s nicely produced 25′ video discusses the importance of design in education. He’s even produced a teaser trailer on YouTube. Now that’s innovative! Dean roams across design principles introducing some innovative ways of thinking about classroom space as well

My own presentation’s premise on Purposeful Play (at last week’s USQ 3rd International Pedagogies Conference) was reflected in a nice post Unlocking Teacher Creativity: a

USQ’s 3rd International Pedagogies and Learning Conference was held this year at the Springfield campus, in the outer Ipswich-Brisbane suburbs. This corridor is one of the fastest growing in Australia, and if the immigrants

After 2+ days of concentration, far too much coffee and eyes that started to pack it in from starting at screens small and large, keeping up with the sessions let alone blogging proved something of a strain. As I noted a day

What’s that on Google Docs and Spreadsheets? It’s (drum-roll) Google Presenter. I suppose it had to happen sooner or later. Those amazingly creative and feverishly fertile (spring analogy) folks at Google
