Great post Dion. So many terrific ideas that can be implemented in schools easily, and in some cases, very cheaply.
Great video Adrian. That's the first time I've seen that but it certainly seems to realistically capture the changes that will be coming in the next decade. The implications for the education sector seem obvious - I hope we are up to it.

Not yet.
We think they would be very powerful but haven't had the chance to give them a whirl yet.
Because we are not in schools on a regular basis finding a time to embed them is difficult.
I gave it a try and didn't have any problems. I'll put it on slideshare or something similar so you can have a look.
Hi Aaron, have you tried downloading or viewing your ppt presentation. I have tried to access it twice, but failed. Maybe it is the slow internet access that I have both at home and at work!
What a fantastic story! Thanks Anne for sharing this.
For those of you who were able to make it to SMR's LOTE Teachers Conference on Wednesday 22nd of July, here are the notes from the session "Engaging learners in flexible learning spaces " that I presented.
For those who were not able to make it, fe…
It's hard to disagree with the logic that a ning offers the ability to create a far more sophisticated online commmunity. The downside comes when only 1 or 2 people are doing all the content/community creation. Then you may as well just have a blog,…
bighink.com has innovative ideas from across a broad range of areas. Naturally, not everything fits comfortably with your won ideas but it is ceratinly worth the thought-exercise.

Notschool.net
I was lucky enough to spend the morning listening to Jean Johnson and Jonny Dyer from Notschool.net, a British education alternative for students who have failed to connect with mainstream and alternative schools.
During the past 5 years they have seen 6000 young people enage with the program. 76% of participants go on to further education and another 15% move straight into the workforce.
This might sound like any normal school but the type of students must be taken into account. Whilst their… Continue

Education Horizon: 2011
I am part of the planning team for a school that will open in 2011. Part of my work at the moment is to try and predict the landscape (both socially and educationally) that will exist in 2011.
I keen to hear what you see as the critical elements necessary for quality education in the coming years. Knowing of course that we work within a system that can be slow moving beast at times, which of these essential elements do you see as DEFINITE, LIKELY or PIE-IN-THE-SKY?
I'll kick off with three tec… Continue

- Hi Aaron,
We've got two new iflip cameras to use at the Showcase and they're great little gadgets. the quality is amazing. I hope we can get them working so we can upload quickly to the ning.

- Hi Aaron,
have you figured out how to remove someone else's post? i'd better get this straight before we go live.
Also, i think we'll ask the RILOs what level of permission they feel comfortable with rather than give them all administrator rights. those who only want to be a member can still moderate - they can send us an email if something is dodgy and we can remove it.
