Just back from this years SLF which proved to be a interesting couple of days.<\/p>\n
Arriving on Wednesday, I spent the morning taking a turn round the hall and the serendipitous catching up with various folk to swap information. This is one of the best parts of a large meeting although there were several regular attendees who did not show up and were missed. There was also the usual failures to see folk I was looking for or passing them with a ‘see you shortly’ which was not achieved.<\/p>\n
I did get my usual wake up call from Nick Hood<\/a> (always taking an interesting angle), and Joe Dale put up with my ‘ipod touchs are the best thing since sliced bread’ speech with patience.<\/p>\n I met up with David Noble<\/a> for a wee bit of last minute planning of our EDUtalk presentation. This was titled:<\/p>\n Sharing Curriculum Change through the EDUtalk Project<\/a> was a look at the EDUtalk<\/a> mobile podcasting project that David and I have been running after last years successful SLFtalk<\/a>. We are both pleased with the way I went. As part of the presentation we asked the audience to record and post some audio, as we did this I suddenly became rather nervous in case the audience balked, luckily they did not. A fair bit of credit should go to Doug Belshaw<\/a> who immediately, in a clear voice, started interviewing his neighbours. Hopefully we got across how easy and powerful mo-blogging is and the potential it has for CPD and classroom use.<\/p>\n I didn’t see a lot of exciting new things but met with a few of my favourite things and folk on the floor:<\/p>\n I went to a few of the keynote speeches, I find with successive SLFs I am less and less impressed with most of these, often seem to be about buzzwords wrapped in anecdotal stories and entertaining jokes. Luckily this year I went to the last one, featuring Sugata Mitra<\/a> talking about his “Hole in the wall” experiments and more. I tweeted:<\/p>\n Http:\/\/sugatam.wikispaces.com<\/a> faith in keynotes restored #slf10<\/a> #slf2010<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n but islayian<\/a> said it best:<\/p>\n Sorry no tweets I just can’t do this keynote justice #slf10<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n amd David Muir live blogged it: The Hole In The Wall: Self Organising Systems in Education<\/a>. I left keynote with lots of interesting questions running round my head. I’ve not watched Sugata Mitra on TED.com<\/a> but will soon and would recommend anyone who didn’t see the SLF presentation to follow the many links to Sugata Mitra and his work.<\/p>\n I’ve not mentioned TeachMeetSLF2010, again David Muir has blogged it<\/a>, I will leave it for the next post. It was outstanding in many ways. I’ve started posting audio to EDUtalk<\/a> tagged tmslf2010<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Just back from this years SLF which proved to be a interesting couple of days.
