Smell the Roses was a presentation made by Kim and I at the Network Literacy Conference. This conference featured the well known American educator and exponent of Web 2.0, Will Richardson.

Our presentation was his support act. We planned it using and a new tool called Prezi. 

Prezi is an interactive tool which allows for great flexibility of presentation. Click on the link to see the main themes addressed in the presentation.

We presented a recount of a week in the life of a class at Belmore South Public School  and their introduction to using Web 2.0 tools. 

The class is the new  Allstars09 and their teacher is  Kim Pericles.

For the week I was her co-teacher and we all had an interesting time.

There were so many things we learned together. The main thing we learned is that teaching “the how to” of Web 2.0 and then encouraging creative responses and ideas is very very hard.

The eventual results; however, are well worth the time, the endless questioning, effort and talking.
