The presentation below is the slide deck from my opening keynote at yesterday’s AIS NSW ICT Integration Conference 2009: eConsumers or eProducers?
It went over very well. The teachers and other educators seemed enthused by my contribution to their event. A sound file, that I will sync with the slides, is coming.
The title, from the dedication in E.M. Forster‘s Howard’s End urges that we “live in fragments no longer“. Pretty amazing for something from 100 years ago. In education, that we teach and educate in fragments no longer is a key success factor to my mind.
Only connect! That was the whole of her sermon. Only connect the prose and the passion and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer.
If you’d like a copy of my speaker notes, that can be arranged if you ask nicely

Steve (trib) This was a great presentation I really the concepts of hyperconnectedness. It is a real shame that this still isn’t the pinnacle of our education system. There is still avoidance by so many educators. Hopefully time will change this…
I always liked Önly Connect as a mantra. I thought the rest of the quote didnt live up to the promise of the first 2 words. But the way you focus on the fragments idea gives it new life. Well done.
The slides are good, and I could create my own voice over, but I would be interested in your angles and appreciate a copy of the speaking notes.
