Presentation abstract or description

This presentation will be an exploration of how the communities we form and participate in can be the curriculum for life long learning. In an attempt to demonstrate this, the actual 'content' of the presentation will be contributed by the audience in real time and will form the bulk of the examples and twists and turns of the presentation. These will (I hope, please contribute) be filled into the 'scaffolding' of the presentation which I'll offer up on my blog a couple of weeks before we the presentation. You're all invited to be part of my presentation :)

Presentation Inspiration: This presentation was inspired by two Jens. The title comes from a classic edtechtalk refrain coined by Jennifer Maddrell: you can't collaborate alone. The concept for the presentation comes from an IM discussion with Jennifer Jones where she was pointing to the sillyness of the two of us concurrently working on papers about collaboration by ourselves. The presentation, then, will be an inherently collaborative process between the speaker and the audience. We will be speaking about community, collaboration and curriculum in lifelonglearning... but creating those slides together as the presentation develops.
