End of year wrap up ….
Best tech moment?
Tony – The development of the e-book reader. Release of Windows 7 – where Microsoft should be.
Darrel – HTML 5.  Great mobile devices – iphones, ipod touch, up and coming Android handsets.
Worst tech moment?
Tony – No camera in the iPod Touch
Darrel – No ZFS in the Mac OS X. Terrible 3g data plans.
Two best websites?
Tony – too may to name!
Darrel – http://etherpad.com & http://www.diigo.com/education & Google docs (especially forms for collecting information)
Gadget/tech for Christmas
Tony – Wacom – Bamboo touch. Would like a Kindle – but will not have one.
Darrel – Android – Motorola Droid phone in Australia.  Some sort of PVR – tivo, networked hard drive or build my own with XMBC.
Looking forward ….
  • Trends for 2010 – what do you think will be the big developments in 2010
  • e-books – greater application!
  • netbooks roll on.
  • Small laptops, much more technology rich classrooms.
  • Many schools exploring other devices ipods, phones, DS’s, kudo for xboxes, etc
  • Tablet Mac ?!?! Will this rumour ever end?
  • Schools having to deal with personal technology products in schools – issues associated with these devices http://www.theage.com.au/technology/technology-news/phone-camera-rules-needed-to-protect-teachers-20091128-jxvz.html
  • Also the ability to more personalise the learning and match with students a vast range of resources to suit their needs.
  • More data applications – more web services and cloud computing
  • Cisco – going from internet plumber to social facilitator
  • Video/web conferencing
