NOTE: Going through handouts from Mark Kent, I decided to make my first wiki! Learning by doing!! Here it is - and you are invited to be my honourable participants in this learning community.

//Hello fellow AADES participants! I felt quite inspired by the various keynote speakers. Having had time to reflect (and recover!), and before we loose our fresh ideas and inspiration, perhaps we could discuss some possible outcomes. So, I will start off by penning my thoughts://
 * //encourage all DE teachers to go to the AADES.com website and read the papers. Perhaps we could each recommend a paper?//

//Modify/extend Ross's survey to the Territory and assess its relevance to our unique situation; the application could have an Indigenous focus.// //Does the research on widespread takeup on new technologies in USA & UK by young middle class youth apply to our Indigenous cohort in the remote communities, even if we have the super highway? Is this more relevant to the URBAN middleclass? Which technologies are more relevant for remote delivery? What level of literacy is required for students to be independent learners and interact freely in the e-learning community? Research and Showcase the unique Indigenous clientele in the NT and its unique needs and circumstances.//
 * //apply for an AADES grant (when details are available) - NTDLS/IT Services/ NTOEC apply for grant (with Ross Todd as our consultant).//
 * //a collaborative MICT mini-project? How can we enpower students to become critical and effective learners? - what strategies can be introduced to help learners seive through the massive information and how to deal with misinformation/disinformation? We could select a topical issue and develop this into a unit, and incorporating some popular technologies. Develop a resource on Australian history for Indigenous students?? Or a Science resource on Global warming???//


 * //At a more personal level, I have been adding on my ACTION LIST technologies mentioned during the Conference - I want to explore the technologies myself as part of my ICT UPSKILLING goal. This wiki is a start. Also, I have a couple of follow - ups.//


 * //Should we have on our NTDLS website (Janisons)??? - information about and how to create ... links to podcasting, wikis, blogs etc//

What do you think? your turn :)
