Presentation: Twitter for in-class voting and more for ESTICT SIG

Today I presented some of my work on twitter voting to the Engaging Students Through In-Class Technology (ESTICT) special interest group. This group “is a UK network of education practitioners and learning technologists interested in promoting good practice with classroom technologies that can enhance face-to-face teaching.”
I used this slot as an opportunity to try out some some presentation techniques. The first was using Timo Elliott’s PowerPoint auto-tweet plugin which allows you to automatically tweet notes as you work through the slide deck. The plan was that this would provide ready made links and snippets for re-tweeting, favouring or just copying into a users personal notes. I also did this to generate information to twitter subtitle my presentation. An unforeseen benefit was that the tweets provided a stimulus for further discussion after the presentation.
The other technique I picked up from was from a presentation by Tony Hirst in which he included links to secondary resources by only displaying the end of a shortened url. This is demonstrated in the presentation (with twitter subtitles of course 😉 (the link also contains a recipe for lecture capture enhancement):
