Learning curve, from slate to iPad. Do we want to keep talking about what’s technically possible or do we want to find ways of what’s not? We should be using technology with subtlety and nuance. Tag (and geotag) contents and curricula on social networks (flickr, etc.). www.wordle.net, a way to share #1. www.bit.ly/ididwell. Contributing, share a small idea in 5 mins, do not be afraid of ephemeral, use it. www.bit.ly/schoolofthemoment. Technology and paper-based books, docs, are complementary, not opposed. We must teach kids to make the most and best use of both ‘worlds’. Let’s acknowledge difference when facing the apprehension of new learning. Build on it.

Next workshop is on podcasting. Stay tuned. Cheers.
