Web 2.0 at Navcon
I attended a number of workshops at NavCon but three stand out... workshops and spotlights given by Greg Gebhardt & Bettina Sho, Steven Harris and Tom March.
The Spotlight presentation given by Tom March on Web 2.0 was well attended. There were a quite a number of enlightening moments and items that provoked thought. Tom is an eloquent speaker and an enthusiastic educator. He spoke on his CEQ*ALL approach to teaching, learning and curriculum integration. He pointed us to his 2nd10 and its rich set of resources as well.
I attended an excellent workshop given by Steven Harris of St Bernard’s Catholic Primary School in Berowra. He demonstrated how Web 2.0 technologies can be integrated into the Year 2 classroom. His workshop was well documented and backed up with excellent data. His examples were excellent and overall he generated a great deal of interest among the participants. It is worthwhile to explore his Pageflakes site [click cancel when the log in window appears].
One of the best moment's of the conference was when I attended Greg Gebhardt's spotlight on Web 2.0. I have wanted to meet Greg and Bettina and although I missed the workshop given by Greg and Bettina on the first day I was determined to catch up with them both. During lunch on the second day I sat down with Steven Harris to talk about his work and the types of applications he was using in the classroom. While we sat there two other delegates took a seat and began talking. During our conversation it dawned on me that they were Greg and Bettina. We had a great chat and shared some productive ideas. We are all like-minded educators ~ there was a synergy if you like and in many ways was the highlight of the three days. Greg created a NavCon workshop page page specifically for the conference and it is rich with Web 2.0 resources and examples.
