I gave a presentation yesterday on using online tools to manage projects and collaborate effectively. The arrival of Web 2.0 and web applications, means that there are now an amazing number of free tools available to manage projects online.
This is an update of an earlier version. I seem to give this talk annually, so I figured I should do a bit of work on it and then re-post. Is this an acceptable thing to do on a blog?
A couple of years ago I watched the Paul McCartney ‘Back in the US’ film of his tour, I was impressed by the incredible collage of digital film, animation and video that was projected behind the stage. Maybe this is typical now at pop concerts. I have heard about VJs, a new breed of nightclub and dance scene entrepreneurs who can construct, in real time, mixed digital video projected to go with the music.
Of course this may be a far cry from standing in front of class to give a ‘Powerpoint’ presentation, but still it’s a performance, and how can we make it work well?
