I quite enjoyed my CUEBC ProD Conference, despite the fact that
I was coughing, croaking with a frog voice, and burying my face
in my elbow in an effort not to spread germs like crazy! David
Warlick, our keynote speaker, is a high tech wonder who can
still relate to even the most “newbiest” of us. He is always
both entertaining and stimulating. He does like to play on his
North Carolina accent, but it definitely adds flavour to his
humorous anecdotes. I was delighted to hear that he recommends
“Edublogs” as a first choice, knowing that I would be jotting
down my notes here. Looking around the audience, I noted that
almost half the transcribers seemed to be using mobile phones
and similar devices, at least a quarter had their laptops
clicking away, and a scant few used pens and paper. Warlick
posted four images on the screen and asked us if we knew who
they were. When he suggested that we could check around with our
neighbours , the fingers were really flying as people tried to
put Google images to the test. H
