The Future of Technology in Eduction is the kinda event I really enjoy going to – not social media for social media’s sake, but the application of what excites us all to a profoundly important topic.
I enjoyed the day and there were vibrant twitter backchannel conversations.
I’ve embedded below the slidecast (slides plus audio) as a nice lofi alternative to the videos, which are also good and enjoyable.
I’ve also included James Clay’s talk, which was the stand out talk of the day for me: hopeful, fun, inspiring.
(Also definitely worth checking out is Peter Robinson from Oxford University’s comprehensive account of setting up iTunesU, which was very interesting too.)
My thanks to Tim Bush and Frank Steiner from ULCC for inviting and looking after me on the day: they put on an event to be proud of.

As a kind of precursor to the Develop games conference in Brighton in a couple of weeks time, The Guardian Gamesblog’s Aleks Krotoski and Keith Stuart are hosting a games-themed pub quiz at the Caroline of Brunswick, just down the road from here (and well within stumbling home distance too, which is always good).
I’m certain there are enough games geeks here to take on the already mighty (and slightly intimidating) list of attendees from Black Rock Interactive, Linden Lab, NCSoft, Zoe Mode, GamesIndustry.biz, Eurogamer, Pocket Gamer and Future Publishing.
More details over at the Gamesblog.
Bring it!

I had an enjoyable visit to Habbo Hotel’s colourful real life European HQ in East London today and I thought I’d share a few things that I learnt. Please do ask questions in the comment section – I’m sure the friendly guys from Habbo Hotel will be pleased to answer. Read more…
