TIE 2009 – Design with Forever in Mind – Ben Wilkoff June 23, 2009

Authenticity done for a real purpose and a real audience. How do we capture learning?
Backchannel is set up using a hash tag in twitter. #forevertie09, viewable as an RSS feed from http://tieconference.wikispaces.com/1117
How do you created learning that lasts forever? Based in experience, grows with the learner, has an impact that is external, creates more questions.
Forever does not mean storage, nor password protecting the information, nor the work remains unchanged, nor that everything is preserved.
Forever does mean that done does not exist (foreverism), that everyone should teach (mathcasts), and exit strategies are not optional (jot and the web 2.0 graveyard). So how do you do this?
Capture student voices:
- vocaroo – http://www.vocaroo.com voice recording
- drop.io – http://drop.io/ file sharing, drop box, and also voice mail
- screencastle – http://screencastle.com screencasting
Aggregation:
- educhat – open discussion using twitter tags http://twitterforteachers.wetpaint.com/
- Google Docs collaborative documents, presentations
Reflection:
What learning will I capture? Aggregating hash tags in twitter – great way to collect discussions from people both present and virtual. How does this captured learning let everyone teach? Every participant in the back channel can be the teacher, can participate, can ask the important question. How will someone build on this learning? If the backchannel is posted as part of the learning, it can serve as a reminder of jumping off points for the next discussion, the next learning or presentation. What is my exit strategy? I’m blogging my notes about this session.

Distractions:
- The conference network is not behaving. It’s down, it’s up!
- Ben’s battery, is it charging or not? Will his laptop turn itself off in the middle of his presentation?
Other tools discussed:
- Tweetgrid.com – set up searching for hash tags in Twitter, near real-time RSS feed.
- Bubbl.us – mind-mapping or brainstorming
