Last Thursday Marcelle, Danielle and I presented at a table session for core connected. The three of us shared our experiences and learning with voicetools to share student voice and learning. We covered such tools as fotobabble and voicethread. It was great experience as I had never been to a table session let alone help present one. All our table participants asked questions and also contribute which is the beauty of these sessions. I got some tools/apps out of it as well.
Our second table was Twitter. We set some people up on twitter and shared who we were following. It was great to see the enthusiasm for this social media tool in an educational context. I must admit I was a bit quite on the twitter front for a while there, but after our table session the sparks reignited and I've found so many useful tweets and new people to follow. I have had to email some of the links from twitter as I can't keep up with all the awesomeness and don't want to lose it. Sometimes you just want to do it all but you need to decide on the purpose and if it is best fit for the class you have and if that is what they need.
