hi there, <br>
<br>
I've lunched out getting input about the below but I've been really
busy lately. Sorry!<br>
<br>
I'm going to Helsinki tomorrow to share info about BarnCamp at an
unconference called Education Engineering
Dayshttp://edu.gamechangers.ru/<br>
<br>
It looks pretty ad-hoc so I haven't had to do a lot of preparation.
I'm going to help out on a session on tools and techniques. <br>
<br>
BUT I wanted to ask your help on one thing - the following activity.<br>
So any input would be super great by about this time tomorrow. <br>
<br>
Obviously - CIDER is going to be one of the cards - (maybe raveoke
on another) but it would be great to get suggestions for other ones.
<br>

clusters to playfully make connections between different
