My posting last Thursday explained how I was in Athlone, Ireland to deliver a keynote to the Irish Learning Technology Association's EdTech10 conference. As my presentation was to be about social learning, I didn't want to present in the traditional way, but to try and make the experience as social and collaborative as possible, so I blogged and tweeted about the event and invited others to participate. All in all it worked out very well, and afterwards, Juanita @JFJ24 tweeted: "will you be blogging your reflections on the experience. Think it woud be interesting" I tweeted back that I would - just like I had blogged my experience using Twitter in a face-to-face workshop - so here is how I planned, prepared for and delivered the collaborative keynote.
Planning the keynote Just like most keynotes, it was to be delivered using the presentation format, so as I planned my PowerPoint presentation, I needed to consider how to make it as collaborative as possible. Preparing for the keynote. Following conference hashtag tweets in real time and saving them for later. UPDATE 7 July 2011: Google Realtime is no longer with us. Initially it seemed to be temporarily offline while under-bonnet tinkering happened and it was assumed it would be hooked up with Google+ however it now seems that Google is no longer accessing Twitter's stream as the deal ended on 2 July 2011. This isn't great. Also, see the more up to date post linked in the column on the right hand side, about a list of Twitter tools.
All the fashionable conferences or events have a hashtag. There are lots of ways of following these tweeted hashtags, in real time, and you can also save all the tweets for later. Example hashtag is #scio10 which stands for Science Online 2010. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------EDIT: 7 November 2010 - for further investigation: "Tweetdoc" as suggested by @AISSMa- it seems to create a rather useful and straightforward PDF for you, which is a plus 1. 2. 4. 4.5. 5. 6.
#Hashtags and other New Media Tools at the Forum on Education Abroad Conference. This week the Forum on Education Abroad annual conference will take place in Charlotte, North Carolina and I'm sad to say that I am no longer able to attend. I have attended every Forum on Education Abroad conference and I was scheduled to present but due to a required meeting about my dissertation proposal that overlaps the conference I had to withdraw from my session. Now that I have a phone that is smarter than me I was planning on a heavy social media presence at the Forum conference that included posts to Twitter and IHEC Blog's Facebook page as well as video uploads (perhaps interviews) for IHEC Blog's YouTube channel. Additionally, I planned to blog frequently from the conference. I guess this will all happen at the upcoming NAFSA conference (more on this as the NAFSA conference approaches).
An Open Letter … « NASPA Annual Conference. An Open Letter from the People with Cell Phones out (for a purpose) during sessions Dear Presenter/Speaker at NASPA 2010, I am listening and I think your session is great! Just because I am on my cell phone does not mean that I am sending a text to someone else. I am definitely not bored; I am fully engaged as I am actually listening to you very closely so I can take notes, quote you, and I’m trying to take a picture of you. Let me explain better what I am trying to accomplish. During the last few days I have used YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and blogs like the NASPA10 blog to chronicle my experience at The Placement Exchange and NASPA. So do not get discouraged by me or others that may be doing the same. Sincerely, The undersigned (Feel free to comment below to join the letter!) Like this: Like Loading...
