Classroom 2.0 session

A very large panel that was unfortunately almost bigger than the audience.

Steve Hargadon the moderator is responsible for the Classroom 2.0 site. He had also setup a wiki for this particular session which is at: http://office20ed.wikispaces.com/ and I suggest you jump over there to take a look at the topics and the panel members details.

This was an interesting and wide ranging session, possibly a little school centric for someone from the Higher Eduction (University) sector, but interesting non-the-less. However the topics were varied and discussion 'leaped' around a fair bit, so I might have to sit back and re-read my notes rather then trying to do it all justice here and now.

However the general flavor was one of 'hope' for the use of web 2.0 technologies across the various education sectors for the same reasons the technologies will infiltrate the enterprise, because if educators don't use them with thier students, their students will just use them anyway outside of school time !
