Building a Web 2.0 Culture

This year, North Vancouver’s LAN parties are going global! At last night’s first LAN party of the 09/10 school year we staged one of our breakout sessions in Elluminate. Elluminate is virtual classroom software that is provided free to all BC educators by the Ministry of Education.

Announcing the session using Twitter, 15 North Vancouver teachers viewed Paul Curtis’ presentation, “Building a Web 2.0 Culture,” at Argyle Secondary and were joined in real-time by educators in places such as Arizona, Maine, and New York.

Moving the conversation to Elluminate makes it accessible to more people, and invites participation unhampered by geography. Follow us on Twitter for announcements of upcoming LAN sessions in Elluminate.

A full recording of last night’s session is available for real-time playback. Clicking the link below will launch Elluminate and replay the session.

Note: Paul’s presentation should open in a separate window in your browser. If you would like to just listen to the post-video discussion, use the recording controls at the bottom of the Elluminate window to fast forward and begin listening at 18:04.

You are invited to a party!

North Vancouver invites you to join us celebrate the opening of the K12 Online Conference with a LAN party!

50 teachers from across our school district will be gathering tonight to watch presentations from the K12 Online Conference, and then get together over dinner to discuss and share ideas.

Unfortunately you won’t be able to join us for dinner, but you can join in the conversation!

Join us in Elluminate as we get a sneak peek of Paul Curtis’ presentation “Building a Web 2.0 Culture.” Watch the presentation with us, and then join us as we speak with Paul live.
