It has the advantage of allowing people who are not physically present to participate. But should a small group who are present tweet each other during presentations? Maybe more questions and discussions would be fairer on the speaker and allow non-tweeters to participate. <br /><br />I also enjoyed Susan Sweeney's presentation on using colour to teach music - including her performance on the violin :-)<br /><br />A lot of talk about second life but no presentations.<br /><br />Well done to team in NCI<br /><br />Must update my own blog now.<br /><br />NiallNiall Wattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931146556045094465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5506803982752146525.post-88991542959108704792009-05-24T08:53:38.273+01:002009-05-24T08:53:38.273+01:00Hi Eugene - truly an enjoyable conference.

I feel I connected intellectually on many topics, made many friends, had a LOT of fun, and hope to maintain contact for future innovations in education worldwide. I'm the naive believer that we can get around politics and reclaim education space and provide a new variety of experiences for students of all ages. The twittering was valuable for all of the comments and sharing of opinions and information during the speaking. I think it is definitely an acquired skill that at first seems odd, but when one becomes comfortable with it, conversations are expanded in impact.<br /><br />In addition, I connected with new colleagues/friends in the process: Kevin O'Rourke, Heather James, Gavin Henrick, Sharon Flynn, Bernie Goldbach, and Iain MacLaren among others.TSmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05734856322326513361noreply@blogger.com
