PortableRadio.ca shortlisted in ShowUsYour.ca contest

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Portablepdca/~3/7Yh90O5ozPg/

This afternoon I got a call from someone who worked for the Canadian Internet Registration Authority. He told me how much they liked our video about PortableRadio.ca and that it made the top 9!

My students had a lot of fun creating posters, recording audio, writing on blackboards and falling off of snow boulders to make the video.

Visit www.ShowUsYour.ca to see the other videos that were shortlisted. They are all really good. Ours is a part of a wide range of videos including a rock group , a news anchor who went to Haiti after the earthquake, and a business that paints bicycle bells.

Obviously, it would be great if you could vote for us. To entice you further, the Canadian Internet Registration Authority will enter you in a draw to win a FlipUltraHD camcorder. Vote daily to increase your, and our , chances of winning. It would be even greater if you could convince a few other people to vote for us as well!

Voting closes March 26, 2010.

Eating, Talking and Recycling

http://dougpete.wordpress.com/2010/03/18/eating-talking-and-recycling

After a four hour wait at Calgary Airport (it’s not as bad as it sounds – great mall, restaurant, and science centre), it was time to get on a shuttle for a 3+ hour drive on the Trans-Canada Highway with some interesting travelling companions, I landed in Medicine Hat in preparation for today’s sessions. I [...]

The Back-Channel Effect: Are Educators Ready for Real-Time Feedback?

http://themobilelearner.wordpress.com/2010/03/17/the-back-channel-effect-are-

Feedback is a powerful way for one to truly understand the effectiveness of a product or service that one provides. It is not unusual for businesses, speakers or other professionals to ask for user/client/customer feedback to gauge where one is successful and where one needs improvement. It is also not unusual for teachers [...]

I’m flying to Calgary today to present at the Teacher2Teacher Conference and the flight out leaves London at 7:30. So, I decided to drive to London after my university class last night, spend [...]
