In your teams, take some time to discuss these questions and be ready to share your thoughts.

  • What do you see as the higher education translation into k-12?
  • You've all been to traditional conferences, did the back channel conversations (powered by social media) change the experience?  What are some takeaways as it relates to your own future learning environments?
  • Characterize your identity and relationship to the other TLT participants
  • Did you get a sense that there was a clear TLT community based on your interactions with the people there?  What sort of evidence can you state as to whether it is a community?
It was painful, but we were able to come up with five somewhat interesting uses for podcasting:

  • Discover and share podcasts within specific areas of interest
  • Formal or informal interviews with students, faculty, professionals
  • Focus group related to a specific topics
  • Brainstorming and capturing group thinking
  • Guiding people through tasks (audio only, screen cast, video cast)
We'd like you to share links to your podcasts as a comment here and help us think about how we can start to use these technologies over the long haul.
