Today is the last of the DCLP conferences. Today and yesterday we used iconnect to do a virtual conference. Colleen setup the curatr site and it worked extremely well for remote collaboration and working together via the web.
Today we used both videolinq VC and iconnect with reasonable success. Problems with the application sharing in iconnect were a little frustrating and put a number of people off what would have been great presentations otherwise.
I was lucky last and was able to successfully share the final project overview and content examples document using iconnect's application sharing (I think sharing an app rather than whole screen helped.) From previous teaching and technology experience I did create a screencast prior to the start of the day just in case the app sharing failed.
When viewing the word document I did find that the action maps where a little fuzzy, so made the available as well. The two example action maps I created were for Use Business Technology and for Tests and Assessments in my.TAFE. If you have an ipad you can download the ibook I created as part of the project directly to your device.
Finally, I would ask that if you have looked over the project document and associated resources, participate in the survey about the action mapping templates that I have created.
Its been an intensive program with many options available to all of the participants and from the presentations I saw today its clear that everyone gained valuable knowledge and skills that will benefit themselves, the institutes and the overarching network for far longer than the duration of the program. Thanks to Colleen for her guidance and support and to Carolyn for allowing me the time to participate.
