Thanks Sue. Learning Table is successful with the help and enthusiasm of people like Simon, which we are very grateful for the support.

Recently we have started to explore the possibilities of using LT for people with physical and intellectual disabilities and certainly looks like it will be a very rewarding use of the technology for the future. This application of the technology obviously has use in all sectors of education.

In the meantime early feedback from users is they want to see quizzes, so they are up next for rfid Learning Table and I hope to share some of the experiences of developing that new feature set and what is involved on my blog (www.mobilemainframe.com). Yes that was a blatant plug.

Hopefully it will prove an interesting and helpful insight for folks who would like to know a bit about how the software they use comes into being.

I was blown away by his response because while I was sitting at the end of the conference – trying to get some energy back to pack away my gear he contacted me via Skype (using the wireless access of the conferences) and was able to discuss with you (Daniel) how to get hold of the Learning Table. Simon stayed connected with me throughout the conference using Skype, Twitter and by reading the information that people were sending out plus attending the Elluminate sessions. Which is really cool that people who don’t attend a conference can tap into the program and then access the information they require to obtain the resources they need.

I should also add that Simon is forever blowing me away with his enthusiasm to his work.

Congratulations Daniel on the success of your learning table. Simon has been updating me on his progress and how easy he is finding it to use. Once he starts using it on site he is going to let me know how it is going with his students.

Why were you “totally blown away”. Simon’s response was fantastic, but not the only one to the use of rfid and Learning Table?

rfid Learning Table is now in every state and territory with the exception of ACT. Any takers for the first in the ACT?

Gary – How did you do it differently for web directions as opposed to how I did it on my wiki? i.e. was there a more efficient way of doing it than how I did it?

Michele – my brain is still feeling scrambled after this 3 weeks. The link you gave is on reflection by a person is the link correct?

I thought that these practices that Wes Fryer shared from the K-12 Online conference were outstanding and something we should sharing with people as a way to begin this kind of information out to everyone in a coherent helpful fashion, along with all of the other live stuff that goes on.

Having a site that can being all the feeds together (tagged blogs, flickr), with peoples open twitter feeds, and other RSS driven media can be a major plus for a conference. especially when you figure in RSS feeds of Video and Slides (slideshare). All you need then is a little social networking glue. Course you have to have Wifi operational (all the time) But this can be a massive interactive information source. This was done a Web Directions.
