Look, I am late to the party. With such a passionate group of educators, bloggers and Tweeters there is no point re-writing what has already been written. Both Graeme Eyre and Nicki Maddams provide comprehensive lists of the tools, #MSCamp has a fair Twitterstream, even now and one of two of colleagues have blogged. In true Magpie fashion, I have taken all their posts and summarised them with Tagxedo.
What did I personally make of the event? As a result of the #MSCamp I certainly have a growing appreciation for the breadth Microsoft software and their support towards education. You only have to review Graham Eyre’s list to recap! However, what impressed me most was the often simple and innovative way my colleagues at the event re-purposed this tools to suit their or their students needs. Web Queries for science, developer tools for in presentation data collection just two examples demonstrated at the close of the event.
I was not 100% sure what to expect from the event. Although I found the task of creating these ‘quite sexy things called innovids’ a little solitary at times, I was inspired by scribbled notes on the ‘dry wipe walls,’ my colleagues commitment to their practice and their general vibrancy and mutual respect. Certainly, these innovids have the potential to impact upon the use of Microsoft products by all our staff back at the ranch.
