Nifty end-of-conference preso just now — plenty of hands-on time, a G-Cast cel phone ==> podcast demo that seems promising for folks without lots of podcasting gear, and interesting use of pbwiki to generate ideas and pages for discussion.
Great table conversations about the need for professional development vision, funding, personnel to enact Web 2.0 / tech-integration / literacy-redefinition efforts. At our table, we had a Board Member, a Chief Tech Officer from a district, and me, a non-profit professional developer.
Presenters used PBWiki to host the conversation about social – legal – ethical issues around using Web 2.0 in our districts / schools. We surfaced a bunch of the core issues, and commented on them on sub-pages. Wonder what a next step with that particular Wiki, and our thinking, would have been?
Call me crazy, but I still want to see a rockin’ match between a Wiki’s core functionality — ability to spin off pages, links, and edits — and a topic in a for-educators’ workshop. Maybe I need to try to develop one. Anyone out there got suggestions for using a Wiki super-well with adults, say in a professional development context?
