I received a nice package from the fine folks from the iConnect iLearn Too Conference. I enjoyed keynoting for them and then interacting with everyone throughout the event (and beyond…right Plurk buddies?!). They sent me a thank you note, conference t-shirt, the much sought after Web 2.0 keyring and other conference goodies. It was a well-timed surprise considering how tired I am after returning to the office today after our family vacation.
My buddy, Tom Barrett, developed the below presentation. It is full of strategies and tips for effectively integrating interactive whiteboards (IWBs) with teaching and learning.
Educators, what are some strategies for connecting the classroom with the outside world?
NOTE: I’d like to share responses in my keynote at the iConnect iLearn Conference and on my blog and wiki. You can submit your ideas using the form below, share your text/audio/video reply in the Comments section of this post or respond to the corresponding Twitter and Plurk discussions. You can also view the compiled database of suggested strategies on my wiki, Learning Telecollaboratively.
These are the slides for my Podstock 2009 keynote. Unfortunately the animations and effects were lost when uploaded to SlideBoom. I’ve shared my notes, resources and video of this presentation over on my wiki, Learning Telecollaboratively. I hope to create a Vidcast or SlideCast of this presentation once I return home and things settle down.
