Sounds of the Bazaar – Live from Educamp09

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

 

EduCamp09

The coming weekend sees the third Educamp conference at Ilmeneu in Germany http://tinyurl.com/cw2tkm . The Barcamp type conference will focus on Corporate Learning 2.0 and E-learning 2.0 in schools or universities including the use of e-portfolios, digital games and virtual worlds in education or the trends of mobile and micro-learning.

In line with the idea of a BarCamp, everyone is invited to propose their own topics for discussion.

Ilmenau is not the easiest place to get to! And there are many great events being held at the moment. But, if you cannot attend in person, ‘Sounds of the Bazaar’ will be broadcasting a live radio programme from the conference on Saturday 18 April at 1200 Central European Time, 13.00 BST (check your local time here: http://tinyurl.com/dj4wnq ).

Helen Keegan will be co-hosting the programme with Graham Attwell.
Cristina Costa will be in the chatroom: http://tinyurl.com/67aj94 (no password needed) , and Dirk Stieglitz will be testing out our fabulous new mixing deck!

To listen to the programme just click here http://tinyurl.com/6df6ar and the stream will open in your MP3 player of choice. And of course we will release the podcast of the programme as soon as we can.
