Last week, I attended the 2009 Educause Learning Initiative Annual Meeting in Orlando, FL. Some of the major themes this year included: the role of play (and gaming) in teaching an learning, social media in the classroom, instruction using tablet PCs and mobile devices, and innovative learning spaces.
Highlights included Michael Wesch discussing his classroom experiments in new media literacy, mobile learning initiatives at Smith College, Amherst College, and Cornell, and a discussion on developing “21st Century literacies” by Susan Metros, Deputy CIO and Associate Provost at USC.
Videos for the general and featured sessions are available here:
