I may be a bit old school where courtesy and dynamics of interpersonal communication is a consideration and I see screens as a problem. I also think that its reduces authenticity eg second life, as a space for me it is like looking at pictures food on a menu(always a dodgy indication of quality) as opposed to actually cooking it and then eating it, there is little sensory satisfaction. </p>Ewan McIntosh commented on 'Naace08 Keynote: Our future, our lives, our technology, our learning'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e200e550f52ce688332008-03-12T06:37:30Z2008-03-12T06:37:30ZEwan McIntoshhttp://edu.blogs.comIt depends a great deal on the presenter as to what they are used to, and if a room full...<p>It depends a great deal on the presenter as to what they are used to, and if a room full of laptops is off-putting. I'm personally used to it and, on top of that, a back channel that is projected onto the back of the stage revealing what people really think of what you're saying, in real time, so that you can add more detail when required, come up with an example or rephrase what you are saying to make your point clearer.</p>
<p>Not having that, for me, is a disadvantage, but I know plenty of other more 'traditional' conference planners and speakers for whom this would be too much.</p>andy preston commented on 'Naace08 Keynote: Our future, our lives, our technology, our learning'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e200e551068efd88342008-03-11T22:19:16Z2008-03-11T22:19:16Zandy prestonhttp://www.edujam.orgHi Gareth, Thanks for clueing me in on the idea behind it.

I read the live blog and it seemed like the live blogger had a tricky task of trying to type in what was being presented with text and in the process may have been unable to concentrate on the presentation itself therby missing some of it or losing the thread. Would seem to be a very difficult task unless you are a court clerk or something. It might be off putting for the presentor if their audience is staring at their laptops tapping away. Wierd dynamic taking away meaning rather than adding to it. It it a solution looking for a problem ?</p>
<p>What did the Live bloggers doing it think?<br />
kind regards<br />

<p>Andy, live blogging is not about "capturing stuff" (the video will be on the conference blog site soon), but about interaction between delegates in the audience, 'commenters' outside and the speaker in real time. The conference used coveritlive, which makes this very easy, for the first time, and although not all the features were used, it has interesting possibilities for the future.</p>andy preston commented on 'Naace08 Keynote: Our future, our lives, our technology, our learning'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e200e550ef6da288332008-03-11T21:03:15Z2008-03-11T21:03:16Zandy prestonhttp://www.edujam.orgHi Ewan, sorry I missed you at Naace, been spending time in schools working with teachers to build creative communities,...<p>Hi Ewan, sorry I missed you at Naace, been spending time in schools working with teachers to build creative communities, on the day in question we kick started our most Northern School only a stones throw from the Scotland. This included portfolio presentations, a set of delightful original works, readings and interviews, plus a theatrical maths puppetry show, assembly singing and even a school council meeting all shared with parents and governors later that day , phew!!!</p>
<p>What is going on with the live blogging!, why not just capture stuff properly, so it can then be understood! </p>
