Currently sitting and listening to Will Richardson’s keynote address at UPEI for the New Media Literacies in Learning Landscapes conference. You can follow live at EdTechTalk and I’ve added some photos (more to follow).
Will touched on themes such as “the web as classroom” and “who are the role models for using MySpace and Facebook”. He also asked the educators in attendance if anyone was teaching reading and writing in in hyper-linked environments. Not many hands were raised. Also check out the Flat Classroom Project that Will mentioned.
Over lunch Dave Cormier described his experiences in working with the OpenSim project, which shows great promise.
Update: Will Richardson neatly summarizes the conference.
