k12onlineconference – Follow up November 7, 2006
Posted by Joseph Papaleo in Google Earth, Janine Lim, Paul Harrington, Screencast, Tom Barrett, k12online.trackback
Last week, my presentation on “Around the World in 80 Minutes” was uploaded to a server somewhere and was made available to anyone interested. While no comments were left on the k12online confernece site, a few people sent me personal messages to tell me how things went, or I found references to it on other people’s blogs.
Thanks to those people who wrote to me.
Tom Barrett made a reference to the work on his blog and then Paul Harrington made a comment that people mentioned Tom’s work during the closing skypecast. Pity I missed it. I hope Tom gets many more visitors. 
Janine Lim (she’s the master, I’m still an apprentice) Videoconferncing expert, made a reference to my presentation on her blog and stated she learnt about Qlock, a great utility for your desktop showing world times. A very handy feature when trying to work in various time zones.
I hope anyone who watched it learnt something. I certainly learnt heaps while reseraching the presenation and then actually producing and editing it.
Now, I just need to find time to watch/listen to some more presenations.

Hi Joseph – I have had a few more visitors thanks! Do you know if the skypecast was recorded at all?
And by the way the new theme looks great – how have you managed to change edit the code etc when using a edublogs account?
Hi Joseph,
Great presentation, I certainly learnt alot from it. The applications of the technology can certainly be used in more fields than just the classroom. Pity this sort of technology was not around when I went to school to make learning more interesting. Keep up the good work.
I also saw your presentation at K12 online and learned a lot.
I know about Google Earth but haven’t gotten around to investigating it too much, so that part was very interesting to me. I’m a librarian and can see many uses in our school for it, so now I have to start figuring it out!
Dear Joseph
I stumbled upon your K12 presentation whilst trying to learn and read more about blogging. It is great and I appreciate your generosity in putting in on a server for others to see. I had not realised the full educational abilities of Google Earth. I have since spent quite a few hours playing with it myself and certainly will take it back to my staff.
