P.D. Down Under – G’Day Mates!
Posted by simonsays on October 26, 2007
I had an interesting experience tonight. My friend and technology guru Chris was presenting at an education conference in Australia and he asked me to help him with his presentation by joining him for a Skype video conference. He was sharing with his audience my experiences with the Flat Planet Project last school year. It was only last year that I started to get interested in incorporating technology into my classroom and now I am helping to present at a conference about this very thing. It really blows me away. Furthermore, with a simple yet marvelous piece of technology like Skype I was able tonight to share my experiences with a group of teachers on the other side of the planet! The world is flat! Hopefully some new connections will come of this and more great learning experiences for students. If you were at Chris’ presentation and you are interested or know someone who would be interested in some online collaboration with an R.E. class in Canada please leave a comment.
