Technology School of the Future, Adelaide (Paul Doherty and Karen Church)

Paul (pictured above with Deb) has created a number of exempla mobile events with the MiLK system. Most of his events have experimented with ways to engage different users in learning activities in gallery spaces and with cultural artefacts. His events are significant to the development of the MiLK software as he is demonstrating to the designers ways to incorporate other materials normally readily available (site maps, note books etc). Paul has also aranged and hosted various trials on location… Pauls innovative adoption of MiLK is now explicit in the latest version to be released in mid november 2007.

Ist Contact

March 2007: Deb and Sherwin were invited to present both an evening Teacher Masterclass and 2 day Student Workshops in Adelaide (with Karen Church of TSOF).
June 2007. Deb re-visited Adelaide to play Pauls game and get some vital feedback.
