OTEN conference

The OTEN conference:

• The keynote speaker talked mostly about the computers he had used in the past.
• Although that was interesting, it didn't link up that well with his final thoughts.
• We don't know what technology will look like 5 years from now, never mind 30 years.
• Technology should be seen as a tool.
• The first workshop I attended was about the use of a digital whiteboard.
• It was mostly a show and tell.
• The speaker again stressed that no matter how much she liked the whiteboard, it was a tool, not to be used for it's own sake.
• The second workshop I attended was about how schools in New Zealand use technology
• Point England school uses blogs for their students.
• The expected growth of their students has increased fourfold.
