During the last week of February 2008 I participated in the Good To Great Teaching and Learning Seminar at Nanyang Technological University. On Tuesday I ran an all day a pre-conference workshop. Tools that the participants were able to explore included Wordpress, Swickis, del.icio.us bookmarks, Flickr and Twitter.

On Wednesday I gave a presentation on the read~write web and current developments in the area including mashups, Yahoo Pipes and scraping of sites through the use of tools such as Dapper. Some of the audience members are pictured below. NTU has an excellent set up and my presentation was recorded by Ian and the team pictured below.

At the conclusion of the presentations myself, Tom Reeves, Sheryl Wong, Paul Gagnon and Westley Field grabbed a few quick photographs. The Good To Great Seminar has been excellent and there has been a lot of buzz and excitement.

The Good To Great 2008 Teaching and Learning Seminar at Nanyang Technological University concluded on Thursday afternoon. There were a number of workshops where the threads of the conference were drawn together and presented to the attendees at the final session. The participants in my group considered issues such as the bridges that need to built to connect teachers and learners. The obstacles that one could encounter were considered and finally the first steps that one needs to take were discussed among the group.

I conducted a couple of more post conference workshops on a variety of tools including WebNode, Wordpress and podcasting. Some of my workshop participants are pictured above and below.

During the course of the week the conference presenters and delegates were supported by the brilliant team at the Centre for Educational Development and student helpers. They were all very helpful and totally committed to ensuring everyone had an excellent experience. You can read more over at the blog: Part One and Part Two.
