I have been asked to take part in a day long series of briefings to the Penn State Outreach Advisory Board focusing on the PSU World Campus. Their Board looks to be a smart group of people who have been selected based on their ability to help our Outreach organization make big decisions. I haven't been involved in Advisory Board style meetings since I left the College of IST about 18 months ago -- that used to be a regular activity for me.
At any rate, I have been asked to start the series of presentations this morning to lay out some of hte challenges and opportunities we face as it relates to teaching and learning with technology. I'll be doing my usual Web 2.0 thing, but with a slightly different slant this time -- I want them to be excited and interested in how emerging technologies are becoming more a part of everyday life and learning. We shall see ... I have attached the PDF of my slides.
I had a good time talking with this group. I always enjoy spending time with smart people with good questions.
