Pre-conference Activities: There was the pre-conf workshop – Connecting to Learning – which an intimate group attended where we discussed our teaching models, our learner readiness, our content or curriculum and then we went live…we Skye’d, we Webex-ed, we went out there….! A great group – committed to the integration of collaborative learning through technologies…

Rather overwhelming but quite a day at NWg2004 (I’m getting tired of spelling out the full title)! The program is HUGE – and I can barely keep up – that’s in-between finalising my workshop and papers for LT2004! I must say … and I am a wildlife lover but… Marvin the Lizard is really getting…

I’m back online after returning from BlogTalk Vienna, followed by a weekend conference in Taunton, Somerset (England). Unfortunately, Taunton is not wireless or broadband – so my only connection was via the hotel room dial-up connection and that’s expensive! Timed local calls PLUS using iPass Global Roaming via Australia…not much fun! However, I’m back in…

A HUGE day! So engaging to be exposed to ideas, perspectives and practices from other countries – many similarities and also many differences! The venue is cool – as I’ve mentioned previously, the ability to connect on fast wireless access is terrific and a luxury that so many of us in Oz don’t have –…

So – as I type this, most of you will be asleep…12.30am…but I’m here in Vienna, sitting in the conference room with wirless internet connection.
