Al’s UNCONFERENCE
A list of resources and links inspired by the 2010 CEGSA conference.

- the agenda? participant driven
- centred around a theme ‘Leading Learning, Engaging Technology’
- could consist of short timed presentations (3 minutes?), brief discussion topics ….
SPRINGBOARDS
(that tend to avoid the run-of-the-mill education focus … that just might allow new serendipitous thinking)
- 2leep http://2leep.com/ countless lists of themed images/text/video/
- eg 15 Worst Construction Mistakes 5 Most Mystical Places of the World
- http://oddee.com/item_97119.aspx (12 Most Clever Interactive Billboards)
- or use one of the multiple tags http://2leep.com/5/1/0/architecture/ on left of the 2leep website
- might be fun, offensive (not your cup of tea – be selective), relaxing, enlightening, different … who knows? And that’s the point.
ALSO http://www.stumbleupon.com/
“Free web-browser extension which acts as an intelligent browsing tool for discovering and sharing web sites”
AND http://www.tumblr.com/
