ictedu unconference returns 14 May

THE 2022 ICT IN EDUCATION CONFERENCE returns to Thurles on Saturday, May 14, 2022. I'm posting the idea here only as a diary reference since several people have asked about the 2022 plans.

I'M SPENDING A cold Saturday on a Surface Book beaming into a hybrid conference held in Cong, County Galway, Ireland. Although the conversations will be stimulating, I know what I'm missing while separated by miles in the ether.

2021 TUS-Clonmel Graduates

THE FIRST TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY graduates to finish on the Clonmel Digital Campus represent an array of creative skills. My hat is off to this proud group of finishers who maneuvered through a host of challenges while the world was locked down due to COVID.

Snippets about Leadership in my Second Brain #cong21

I HAVE A LOT OF THOUGHTS about leadership bubbling up inside my second brain. Leadership is a prime topic following me from my days as an Air Force officer and it's the main feature during Congregation 2021.

First Mention of Blogs: 2 Aug 99

THE FIRST MAINSTREAM PUBLICATION to mention the word "blogs" was The New York Times on August 2, 1999. While blogging has receded as a touchpoint for everyday discussion, services like WordPress continue offering compelling reasons to host content on the open internet instead of behind closed apps such as Instagram and Facebook.

A Community Using Audio Glue

I'm working with conversational glue at the end of June 2021. I made an audio clip while reflecting on things I've done that are going to stay with me long after the annual audiomo challenge passes into the next year.

Listen to "I Enjoyed The Conversational Glue #audiomo E568" on Spreaker.

The most import thing I learned in this 11th year of audiomo is that there are dimensions of communications that are more constructive when they have a community building dynamic. In this case, the self-organising community of audiomo binds together by a conversational glue.

Audiomo Live Session

I met up with Josh O’Farrell Hurley using Zoom during audiomo, a monthly social audio challenge. We created two video clips, one for Twitter that also went to Josh’s Soundcloud account and another for Flickr. The one for Twitter was similar to a clip Ray Garraud and Ernie Hartley made using their Backpack Studio app. You can also create threaded audio commentary by using Limor or Swell.

A Parent's View of the Virtual #ictedu Conference

I HAD A PARENT'S VIEW ON SATURDAY, May 15, 2021, watching the virtual ICT in Education Conference unfold. I spotted three things as a parent, an educator, and an organiser.

Offsetting Screen Time During #CESICON

ALONG WITH PAM O'BRIEN, I got sucked into a day of inspirational ideas during the annual CESI Conference in Ireland. And I have a confession--I wasn't watching the Zoom Screen all the time. Instead, I rested my eyes on our Axolotls while listening to conference presentations.

This is an important skill--toggling between screens--because knowing how to do this staves off Zoom Fatigue. It's an important concept flagged by Dermot Casey in his LinkedIn feed.
