BarCamp is an “‘unconferece’ where those that attend are also encouraged to present and participate during the informal presentations and workshops.”
There seems to be a lot of people here - attending the presentation classes, live blogging, taking picture and more. What a great idea, it should have more leading up publicity.
I went to the first meeting “M-learning” (as opposed to “E-Learning”). M-learning stands for mobile learning. Learing with the help of a pda or a laptop, if you’re wireless in the middle of nowhere. Mobile technology seems to be where the internet was ten years ago. It’s not always taken seriously, a lot of people still think that it’s only used for games. But more technoloty is coming out all the time and it will be interesting what [development] software will take a stronghold in this market. At the moment everyone seem to have their own thing.
The other meeting I went to was “Second Life in Education“. This is quite interesting - virtual learning opportunities are quite amazing, uniting people around the world into one classroom.. This this out - a Second Life campus at the University of Ohio:
