John Olinda Got asked to do a technology presentation for a teachers' conference. Not sure if I should just spend the entire time ranting about terrible passwords or debunking the notion that kids are good with computers.

🏒 Lucian Marin Maybe present Sublevel as a solution for collaborative problem solving: sublevel.net/re/10887

The_markness I definitely think there is a place for sublevel in education. I write about educational technology and mentioned sublevel amongst others here: markawilliams.with.... I'd be interested in what you end up presenting @jackivan88

John Olinda Ended up doing a presentation on Slack. It wasn't as successful as I had hoped though, a combination of poor promotion on the conference's side and poor execution on mine.

🏒 Lucian Marin That's the difference between Sublevel and other services: it allows only one reply. People who are confronted with one choice, they usually tend up to make the best of it. Slack/IRC/chat services will push students to waste time, instead of finding innovative ways to make the best of the only answer available to them.

John Olinda Well, I should clarify that although the presentation didn't go well, Slack has been tremendously successful with students and teachers.
