This video is the result of a class project in an Innovation in Mass Communications class at the University of Denver. Even if you are not familiar with the television show The Office the satire in the video is telling.
Julio Ojeda-Zapata offers some excellent perspectives on using iPod Touches in primary school in his Twin Cities Pioneer Tech Test Drive column.
Watching the student and teacher video clips, which make up the majority of this post, truly reveal the potential we have for learning engagement when we use technology appropriately.
Clayton Wright has released his the 22nd edition of the conference list. It primarily covers January to June 2010, but also confirmed events after this time period. New additions have been made to December 2009.

You are receiving this list earlier than usual. Consequently, there are a number of conferences whose 2010 dates, locations, and urls are not available. Last fall, I was helping faculty in The Gambia and Sierra Leone design distance courses. Thus, due to limited Internet bandwidth in Africa and high access cost (see http://www.irrodl.org/index.php/irrodl/article/view/608/1180 if you want to learn more about using technology in some countries), it took awhile to produce the list. So, the list was distributed in late December – too late for you to arrange to attend conferences scheduled for January. This year, I am assessing the distance education capacities of two institutions in southern Africa and decided to send out the list before I travel overseas. As a result, information was/is not available for a few conferences in May and June 2010. However, there are still more than 650 confirmed events listed in the attached – something for everyone!
