        Among the best moments in this presentation:

        "You aren't experts. You're not making 'real' knowledge."
        "So?!"

        Great stuff.

    Melanie sez: In addition to unpacking a provocative topic (scary scary for many academics!) with insight, humour and heart, Robbins does so in a lively animated format that takes slide-sharing to a whole nother level. This is some phat loot for those of us looking to level up in the big battle that is technology adoption in education (and elsewhere - just change the titles and this would apply in any field). One of my favourite slides is near the end. It's about reconciliation and 'taking off armour' ... this battle isn't about winners and losers. T

    • In addition to unpacking a provocative topic (scary scary for many academics!) with insight, humour and heart, Robbins does so in a lively animated format that takes slide-sharing to a whole nother level. This is some phat loot for those of us looking to level up in the big battle that is technology adoption in education (and elsewhere - just change the titles and this would apply in any field). One of my favourite slides is near the end. It's about reconciliation and 'taking off armour' ... this battle isn't about winners and losers. This is a battle that can result in a PAX Romana - if only we know how to approach it. To extend the battle references further, take the young and wrathful Achilles. He's ready for battle - and nothing but. Problem is, he lacks the foresight to consider what is honorable and decent and needed in post-war society. He drags Hectors body around, refuses a proper burial and acts like a general ass. Until, that is, he gets enlightened. Those of us who wish to rush into battle seeking only to settle the score, will not foster the conditions needed to inspire real harmony between old and useful knowledge/history/expertise and new ways of doing things. We must have the readiness and ferocity of an Achilles, but the ripeness and reason of a sage, humble Ulysses if we're to win this battle for all.

    This presentation is absolutely stunning. Hysterically funny, and incredibly relevant to contemporary issues and debates on emerging tech. Must have taken ages to put together, because it frames the discussion using lego characters depicting the battle of Agincourt (1415)
