Liveblogging the Media Giraffe Project.

I’ve set up an IRC channel, irc://irc.freenode.net/mgp2006 where people can get together and talk about the conference. Paul Bass has written a post about Helen’s first talk.

Third IRC chat log
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Tue, 06/27/2006 - 17:27<wetcoast> As a Canadian, I felt a bit disconnected during that last session. Nothing there for me. Maybe one day this conference will be big enough to support concurrent sessions so we can pick and choose what to go to.

(One of the people working with the MacArthur foundation…)
Starts off with a demo of Google Earth, talking about showing his kid where he would be in Washington DC.
He goes on to talk about how geography classes aren’t focusing on the right kind of maps and about Friedman’s ‘The World is Flat’
Currently, our education system is failing.
