Notes from David Warlick’s Keynote

Published by in web 2.0, workshops on October 16th, 2006

GREAT K-12 Online Conference keynote (actually the pre-conference keynote) by David Warlick today: Derailing Education: Taking Sidetrips for Learning. (This is available as a downloadable MPEG-4 video file, which you can watch at your leisure, so don’t worry if you didn’t see it today!) Per David’s suggestion, I’ve posted my notes and thoughts about his presentation to his wiki site.

Our live discussion with David via Elluminate this evening was super also. I got back home at 4:55 pm today from Wichita Falls, where I had been sharing four presentations with educators there at the ESC9 Regional Tech conference. (I’ll post audio and notes from those later.) Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach and Darren Kuropatwa did a fantastic job of facilitating the dialog! I had never worked in Elluminate before, and I was VERY impressed. I’ve participated in live webinars with MacroMedia Breeze, Windows LiveMeeting, and Vyew– but I think Elluminate is better than any of them from an interactive standpoint as well as a cross-platform/accessiblity standpoint. (Sheryl was also a very dynamic and supportive facilitator, which makes a huge difference.)

At one point we had 51 people in the virtual meeting space. I posted some screen captures I made toward the end of the event to Flickr, I’ll post an mp3 audio recording of the session as a podcast later this evening. Sheryl is going to publish the actual Elluminate session to the K-12 Online Conference blog as well.

    I would also raise a personal applause for Sheryl. She did a masterful job of providing the personal intermediary between the technology and the human part of the event. Great fun!
