Thank you for the demonstration of the possibilities. A lot for us to learn but an exciting time for us as learners.

Very exciting stuff, and I feel really keen to go and get started... Thank you Paul and Mark.
A concern I have is that everything was Mac based, I don't own a Mac, we have no Macs at our school and I don't think any of the families have Macs at home.
We'll definately be using iTunes, and I know my kids will love to create podcasts....
So, it's my job to find the PC equivalent programs and work those out. Hopefully Microsoft (or Google, or some other freeware provider) will follow suit to create user friendly products.

we were just talking about this - pc equivalents - maybe movie maker might be an idea

Thankyou for sharing thoe possibilities for using apple aplications with the children. Can't wait to try podcasting with the children.
Great ideas to try and push for at my school. Has given me the desire to learn more about the ipod and mac systems.
Great to see the technology in use. It looks quite user friendly if you have the technology available to you and the time to have hands on!!!
Paul, you will need to organise more PD opportunities for us to use you as aresource. Your knowledge is to good to not being able to access often. Great thought provoking talk...

Wow...
So many programs to try.
Yesterday I think I'm getting there and have a pretty good knowledge about ICLT. Today I am blown away once again!!!!
However, I still have enthusiasm and the will to try. I'm sure I will encounter challenges along the way, but isn't that what education is about... Overcoming everyday challenges to create extraordinary opportunities for our children today and tomorrow!
Thank you for opening my eyes!

Marks image of the devil sitting on the path of conectivity was great. I wonder if some members of staff somtimes put on their plastic horns in the hope that by ignoring or rejecting technology it will all just go away?
It would be very worth while creating a list of recomended technology based podcasts that we can push out to staff.
Perhaps an IPod can be issued with the pen pack at the begining of the year... I would like to see that.

An reflective presentation Mark...Lits of food for thought. I loved all the great ideas that Paul presented...you certainly keep us on our feet Paul!!!
Paul, as always you have delivered the goods, the ideas, the inspiration and the "web addresses". I just really wish I had more time to play with the various concepts or applications in order to do them justice. Thanks for a brilliant presentation.

Becoming a "key player" in the state of eduction in Aussie will involve getting involved with the political process and learning how to function within it. The first lesson ...is to stop knocking it...
You want to have a say...then make representation through those who can open the doors for you. Get involved in he many advise groups that Ministers use. That is the second lesson.
The third is to present to the Government a"better way to do it". The goal is a National Curriculum...get into Canberra through lesson one and two...and sell your strategies which though unclear to me at this stage...with faith...I believe the CSO/CEO's do promise to be leaders and a "good" powerful influence on Aussie education and it's future. The vision and mission are great...it is strategy (functional, purposeful and flexible) we teachers, students and community require of you.
Good luck. Blessings, Vicky
What a good combination of metaphor and good points to ponder, along with lots of bells and whistles. Both inspiring in their own way - I have taken many things away to think about and try. It was definately a good balance of challenge and support. You never know whats possible, or what you dont know until someone tells you. I was really happy with the way this keynote has inspired the other staff from my school here with me today. We have already set a realistic goal to try in their classrooms when we get back!

Thanks for the big picture view, Mark. Hopefully we will be able to avoid the railway gauge dilemma in education. It's a big ask for our nation, but worth it! After all we did manage to get federation and a national parliament!
Paul - thanks for the energy and enthusiasm. You make it look so easy! I'm going home to at least download podcasts, if not create them!!
Marks image of the devil sitting on the path of conectivity was great.
Reminds me of the lack of support that comes from certain IT people.
Thanks Paul, an informative and interesting session. I am not only inspired, but now realise why some people love their Macs and what I have been missing out on!
