Ramblings on ICT, Education, Web 2.0, Christianity and Staff PD
Well today is the last day at NECC. This morning I have attended a special session with Mali Bickley and Jim Carleton the Canadian keynote speakers which was arranged just for the members of the ACCE study Tour. It was interesting to hear a bit more detail that they have given and they are really doing cool thing educationally. They have found with ICT integration it is a case of Ready, Fire Aim. In other words don’t wait until the circumstances are right and you have all the knowledge just jump in an have a go with what you have got! They gave us lots of info on global collaboration and how to do it rom really easy to really complcated and the benefits to the children of globally collaborating.
The next session I attended was a really productive session hosted by Chris Shamburg he used Audacity to show us how easy it is to create an audio story and give appropriate legal recognition. He sourced his files that are allowed be used from cdmixter. He hosts the podacasts on blip.tv. It was a very useful session.
