Is that a terabyte of information in your pocket or are you just happy to see me.?

Bonks lecture was rapid fire but invigorating. One of the most enlightening things I learned was that the U.K. was an exceptionally "dodgy" place b/c of the rather bitey dogs. All kidding aside, the concept that anyone, can learn anything, from anyone, at anytime.....is what this class is really all about. I used voicethread to create a presentation on his WE ALL LEARN pneumonic (are caps really necessary) and it was an interesting exercise. I like the voice over aspect and I think it could be used by my students for classroom presentations. I decided to present his 10 big points in a "what can you do as a teacher" theme. It's posted right before this post...sadly, I couldnt' figure out how to embed them together.....next time.

On the whole the class was (as usual) pretty inspiring stuff....but an exceptionally bad powerpoint. Clearly Dr Bonk has ppt ADD. Each slide was filled with multiple graphical images and random odd noises. Combined with the constant chanting it tended to take away from the outrageous concept of the content. While his presentation left a lot to be desired (he should ask Al Gore for some ppt pointers) his ideas are powerful and well worth thinking about.
