I am new to this teaching game - I've just come from Channel 4 News - so I don't know what level of technical ICT experience to expect from my students.  I'll find out in a week.

A great session on podcasting this morning...  which has inspired me to attempt to record 10 minute chunks of tutorials which students can look at later.

And I love the idea of Elluminate...  I wonder how difficult would it be to organise virtual tutorials with journalism students in America (for example)...

The conference must go ahead despite the weather!  And if many people can't make it - then it'll become a more exclusive event.  What did Henry V say?  "The fewer men the greater share of honour". (I just hope my car starts in the morning..)
