Blogging today from an inhouse conference. All week the university is exploring learning and teaching and today is my Faculty's turn. Been interesting so far (including the keynote address showing us two very nice bits of technology in a Sony UX and a Samsung X1 I think it was). But I'm struggling to engage with the session I'm in now on f2f, blended and distance learning. Hence the blog posting. Still, I'm clearly not the only one as someone two rows in front is writing an email! (Nice thing about the technology faculty is that I don't feel too unusual sitting here with a laptop! There are half a dozen about with 50 or so attendees.)

It must be slightly disconcerting for conference session presenters to know that people may well be telling the world how boring they are, even as they speak!
To be fair to the speaker who shall be forever anonymous, he did cheer up and it got more interesting when he started questioning the use of the technology.
But yes, I'm not sure I'll view students on their laptops during my teaching in quite the same way!
And a further update. It wasn't an X1 it was a Q1 with it's keyboard travel pack. See here:
