Hmmmm, these could also be the last notes depending on how much I drink at the conference dinner tonight ;o) But I thought I’d be optimistic. First up I’d encourage anyone interested in education technology to visit the proceedings which are now online and well worth a look! Me, things that have been of particular …

Levine Primes the Kiwis
Keep on meeting people here in Perth and bursting into weblog/wiki spiels & enthusiasm, and they nod knowingly and say “Yes, I went to an Alan Levine session”. Good work CDB :o) Means I actually need to know what I’m talking about now, eeek!
