Near the end of his session, Cyprien raised what was for me a very provocative question. He indicated that he wasn’t sure what to make of these digital, Web 2.0 tools, and he wondered whether or not they might amount to anything. Is this stuff merely a hobby, or can it enhance the practice of science?

Cyprien: Could we ask our students: Go ahead and learn, but think about how you learned and what it means to you? Jon Udell: “Narrating your work.”

One principle of web 2.0 should be data portability.

Are we losing the self or our conception of the professional self, or is our professional identity merely changing?

Newspapers are a medium where the culture is to not cite primary sources.

Do we teach about economics or history or biology, or do we teach how to do economics or history or biology?

Transformation of our being consumers to producers of information.

In an increasingly transparent world, where are the boundaries?

As promised during my talk, attached is a pdf of a two-page handout about installing Classroom Presenter and getting started with a few of the basic instructor-side features.  It also includes a link to the University of Washington Classroom Presenter page, which has great documentation and examples.
Also, I forgot to mention that you can create your .csd files on any computer running Windows XP and PowerPoint (even if it’s not a tablet pc).  You just need the appropriate software installed on it.  So, for example, if your department only has one tablet pc for all members to share, you can create the slides on your desktop machine and just copy them over to the tablet just before class.
