His presentation was very stimulating and left me thinking that I would love to go back into class and try out some of his ideas. Blogging certainly seems a great medium for sharing and collaborating with people everywhere. Just thought I’d leave a comment after hearing Will speak at eLIVE in Edinburgh.

Thanks for involving me. It truly made my day... I too spent the day talking about "the kids" and how connected technology can make us all feel. I would love to Skype back in to any of those classrooms and have a real chat-- anytime! Sheryl It was great fun! Thanks for involving me. It truly made my day… I too spent the day talking about “the kids” and how connected technology can make us all feel.

I would love to Skype back in to any of those classrooms and have a real chat– anytime!

Isn't it interesting that the children obviously regard the use of IT as normative and yet still get very very excited at new developments or possibilities (The Tablet)?

He reports how the young people took an active role in the event: “…there were kids everywhere, in the audience, in the vendor booths, welcoming participants into the sessions, and even a couple of troops of wandering podcasters that were reporting on the event. It was really just a joy to watch them, producing everything from complex GarageBand performances (they even had one student band doing live performances into the computer) to creating claymation movies to demo-ing a whole host of interesting other applications that were set up throughout the venue. Talk about engagement! These kids were totally, wholly involved with the technology, having all sorts of fun, figuring it out, pushing it. It was pretty amazing.” [...] [...] news Will Richardson blogs from a conference In Edinburgh where kids were participants as well as objects of pedagogic attention and planning.

Now if we could just catch up here in higher ed...;-) Thank you for sharing!! I always enjoy reading your posts so much, in part because I am just so impressed with what these kids are doing.

Heck, we might well come over to visit our American-Scottish cousins - any excuse, right? I really enjoyed working with the kids, too, especially when they took the cue and helped out in my podcasting workshop. As a general rule in Scotland, if you organise a conference about ICT you get the kids to do it. It's ALL about them.

While pointing out the amazing work kids are doing in their own time, and shaming education's insistance to block the very applications they enjoy the most, it was difficult for him to get them to rave about their work, or brag about what they could do. Why? Because it's no big deal to them...it's normal! I was very proud of my little troop – it struck me, though, that Alan November is a victim of his own success.

At least one post is going to be on the children and what they were up to. {Did you get caught by the two pupils that were asking people what they would buy if they had all the money in the world? :-) } And I agree, it was a great night out. I really enjoyed meeting you face-to-face for the first time... but hopefully not the last time.
