UWE Conference Sandbox

I am currently planning and collecting thoughts for a practical presentation I want to share at the West Of England ICT Conference, to be held at UWE in July. I know it is quite a way to go, but knowing how rushed these things have been in the past, and inspired by Doug Dickinson I thought I would try a slightly different approach, moving away from PowerPoint, and gradually collecting all my tools and ideas in one place. Additionally to acting as a presentation platform the blog will also be a great place to refer my audience after the gig, rather than generating handouts, and with the possibility of linking back and refering colleagues to my teaching and learning blog where I regularly reflect on and share the uses to which I have put ICTs as tools in the classroom. Lets just see how this progresses. Using a blog in this way it seems could also open other doors for colleagues to see how web 2.o tools might impact or support learning in other areas too. By using slideshare or Google Apps to mash up the presentation, there seems opportunities to share the potential for teaching, learning and sharing through Web 2.0 environments while using them as a vehicle to share the message I would like to on the day. Wouldn't it be cool to have images of colleagues engaging with the workshop live either during or directly after the event.
