Education

At GAFE, Indonesia

Google Apps for Education was held on 9 Aug 2012 in Jakarta and included a diverse audience of students and university IT Directors, CIOs, etc. I was expecting only the latter. I retell my story and what I learnt from David Asirvatham's story.

  1. Have just been told that the hashtag has been changed from #gafeindo to #gafeid.
  2. Another snapshot of the venue for #gafeid this time from the stage twitpic.com/ah6x8w
  3. This was taken before the crowd descended and when I had the chance to walk around the stage.
  4. #edsg #gafesummit >> RT @ashley: Almost forgot to post to the revised hashtag. My presentation is at bit.ly/gafe-ashley #gafeid
  5. @ashley I like your take on #eportfolios - one goal is to learn from eachother not against each other @atamerica #gafeindo #gafeid
  6. @jasongraham99 That's the subject of our research. Anecdotes & data indicate deeper more reflective learning... #gafeid
  7. And clearer links between theory and practice. #gafeid
  8. This is a more succinct answer to a much longer, rambling one that I gave in person!
  9. Kinda hope that Mr. @ashley explains the best practice of actual use of G Apps. @atamerica #gafeid #gafeindo
  10. I wish I had seen this tweet on my 'live' tweet stream. I would have said the following in person. Tweeting is the next best thing.
  11. @ttpra Please refer to how we use Google Sites to house e-portfolios & provide support for it sites.google.com/site/niefoliop… #gafeid
  12. @ttpra One thought: There is no best practice as what is best is subjective or contextual. What is best for one is not for another;) #gafeid
  13. Dr David Asirvatham up next. I envy U of Malaya which has gone Google entirely! #gafeid
  14. I found this out during a great lunchtime conversation with David, Yansen, and Pepita.
  15. Malaysia perspective of G Apps use for gearing toward World Class Unv. @atamerica #gafeid #gafeindo lockerz.com/s/232744290
  16. David linking being world class to adopting Google Edu Apps, eg collaborative research on international scale #gafeid
  17. Excellent. The people that have been talking while presenter speaking have left ;) #gafeid
  18. Yeah, there was a bit of a buzz. It is common with Gen Z.
  19. Another hint from David: Nurture knowledge students & workers to be world class. #gafeid
  20. From David: Univ students started using Google Apps in 2009, staff only in Dec 2010. No objections from students. #gafeid
