Thanks for the BBC link! Mark Hi Claire, yes - you’re quite right that the Digital Divide is still a real issue between and within societies across the world. Thanks for the BBC link! Mark

One thing that did emerge however, was the enormous difference that exists between educational institutions in terms of resources, - some of us might be fighting to get broadband whereas others may have no electricity! I happened to see some coverage on the BBC about the "One child, one computer" campaign: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/click_online/6962035.stm - very interesting, although it seems they will run on traditional current rather than solar power as I had imagined.

I believe all the conference handouts and other materials will eventually be posted on the Learning Technologies pages. In the meantime, I can email you a copy of the handout - but unfortunately, I don't have an mp3 version of my talk ... as you discovered! Cheers, Mark Hi Michael, thanks for your comments.

Oh well. Is there a link to your "“Talking to the digital natives: Building connections and community on web 2.0” paper somewhere? Had a browse around the above URL but couldn't see it. I'd also like to know more about Michael Cheng's session......I missed that too. Me again - just realised that the mp3 in http://e-language.wikispaces.com/mp3 has nothing to do with an audio file!

I’d also like to know more about Michael Cheng’s session……I missed that too.

Just found the link to the mp3 file of your session - will now listen! Nice summary Mark - good for me to get an overview of sessions I didn’t attend.
