Symposium for Teaching and Learning with Technology

Here's an idea to build upon the stickies we used this year - VW for Virtual Worlds, etc.

First, we complete the set as much as possible.

Then we order and color them in order of volatility or disruptiveness. Text, for example would be our Helium. A basic building block or element, almost always needed, but fairly stable (we know what to do with it in most situations).

Then we start to build compounds/molecules from these elements - combining them in ways that visually represent a tool or method. Blogs, for example, would be text + graphics + ....

From there we can build more complex substances - add the technological compound to pedagogical compounds (theories, best practices, etc.) to finally have a visual, colorful representation showing all the parts that make up the whole! This will also help others understand convergence of the Web 2 technologies out there - how they are being combined, mashed, and used in new, creative ways.
