Pan-Hellenic Conference on ICT in Education, Korinthos, Greece
A very successful MirandaMod was held at this conference in Greece.
Christina Preston, Leon Cych and Theo Kuechel ran the session from the 7th Pan-Hellenic Conference on Information and Communication Technologies in Education. People from across the world joined in through the Flashmeeting and were able to view the video stream that Leon broadcast through ustream.tv.
Video from the session will soon be available to view.
The debate kicked off with 'Socrates said writing would destroy human thinking processes:are the Internet and Web 2.0 having a more profound effect on cognition?'.
