I attended this conference in Finland last week! With 3 other Glasgow Masterclass teachers and Tom Kane of prescience our video conferencing guru. I was presenting about our video conferencing efforts with De Rank. Talked a bit about blogs too.

I saw a host of other presentations and took a few notes, I intended to write them up, but have not had the time, too many links to follow. So I’ve just pasted my notes below, not very coherent but the links are there.

It was a fantastic trip I took a pile of photos some here.

Saw demo next day, results were not so pretty,tool looks very basic mind map sort of thing.

FLICKr type interface in flash might be more interesting.

Mind you everyone at the conference is doing ‘Mobile learning’ taking photos of presenter’s slides rather than taking notes. Marilyn says info-snaps

this looks interesting as there does not seem to be the same emphasis on relying/organising with partners, could go it alone.
