After yesterday's sessions, and finding the morning ones really interesting, opening up many doors for me, I was wondering about 1.40pm, about the usefulness of the session we were just at the beginning of, Collaborate etc with Trevor Storr, then realising what we were there for, what it was all about. Since then I've been playing with the concepts presented. I've been investigating the ways in which I can set up my own free moodle, not with the Aorakinet system. www.slideshare.net, which was introduced as a way of gathering powerpoints etc for a moodle, is an extremely powerful medium for collecting ideas. I'm part way through looking at http://www.slideshare.net/elizkeren/eastern-keren which is a powerpoint with 81 slides, each embedded which RICH, to the power of something big, visuals, audios, links etc. Within this I've now stopped at slide 48 and am listening to an interview with a maths teacher who uses cellphones, http://www.blogtalkradio.com/elikeren/2009/07/16/a-conversation-with-math-educator-in-pa-jimbo-lamb. I'm pretty blown-away really, but then again I expected to be blown away, a willing victim. The possibilities are endless and I want to learn more and more... Online surveys interest me, podcasts yes but I haven't been there yet with this. Blogs and the things and connections are a new world for me, and WOW!! Online polling using http://yodio.com , free texting using http://textmarks.com, www.polleverywhere.com for surveys. Online storage is necessary too I think for the option of working on moodles and blogs etc indifferent situations, on different computers/networks, esnips.com, box.net...
Where are you other guys at this weekend? More investigation? or is just my obsessiveness, can't help myself. No I'm not aspergers... Tell more what you're working on... PLEASE. Ok then, I'll have to go and search for your blogs, on Dave Thorp's timnet blog and check for myself.
