Donna is right, I have just finished watching the entire Blip.TV video of an LCA keynote and the IPocolypse is coming and will burn all our networks and coms to hell! Well worth watching and bravo to LCA for sharing this so soon after their Brisbane conference.<br>
<br> <a href="http://linuxconfau.blip.tv/file/4692762">http://linuxconfau.blip.tv/file/4692762</a> (54 min)<br><br>Speaking of lists, here is an interesting one for 2011 that lists 16 different technology-driven trends that will impact schools. <br>
<br> <a href="http://www.flashforesight.com/trends-for-2011/">http://www.flashforesight.com/trends-for-2011/</a><br>
<br>Disruptive technologies (smart phones and tablet computers), Apps, eBooks, virtualisation and cloud computing score a sixer. <span id="descContent_5" class="content"></span>I would hazard a guess and say that BYOT (bring your own technology/wireless) is also on our radar with all the implications this implies.<br>

Whilst everything posted has been a fantastic idea, and sounds like the kids would enjoy doing / learning about those things - I'd humbly suggest that none of those technologies are 'emerging' they are mainstream. </div>

Except the useful suggestion of looking to the horizon report. But even still - augmented reality apps are here now and being employed in increasing numbers for a range of different use cases. </p></div><div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">

- I use snippets from Good Game (ABC) - some good tech news there, esp. related to gaming, which kids identify with.<br>- Get the kids to research and present a talk/slideshow on an IT issue. It's a good way of justifying the showing of a lot of IT videos - it and helps fill the time when you really couldn't be bothered going on stage, or have to keep the audience quiet while you deal with administrivia ;-)<br>
- Do a bit on home networking and SOHO design, including wifi security. It's the only time I've seen year 9/10 kids frantically taking notes, because they want to try it at home. They also like the researching of home network equipment and getting prices online.<br>
- Cover website setup: get them to find a domain name they like and go shopping for a web host. They will spend<span> </span><i>hours</i><span> </span>on that!<br>- If your techies can swing it, let the kids play with a CMS like Joomla or Drupal or similar. Hours of fun for the whole family.<br>
