SXSW Conference

Learned from the SXSW conference that Biray and Shelley attended – during the actual conference attendees were texting and adding to the conversation. Critiquing the interviewer for being to “flirty” and not asking the right questions, during the actual interview - the classroom possibilities are incredible!!!

Use resources to add to class – two screens your presentation and on as a running chat – Would the students pay attention? Would they be learning? Could you build assignments that structure it?

Same amount of paying attention as not probably – most students can now multitask – including me. Running Sirius satellite radio on my desktop in my office while Iwork everyday.

“Google Jockeying” 2 or 3 students - one group in Google docs

2 or 3 students on Google for terms as they come up in class and answer them with found online resources. Chat window – 34 screens in front of class yours – Google terms and chat
