Informal video excerpts

Video captured by conference goers

Jason is always happy to honor the requests he receives from organizations and individuals to record his keynotes. Feel free to use the short video clips compiled here to transport his ideas 'beyond the conference' and into your schools, businesses and conference rooms.

Don't expect polished, glitzy video - these clips were shot by 'non-professionals' using consumer quality gear. Nothing was rehearsed and minimal post-production was employed. But that doesn't matter - Jason's ideas, vision and love of what he does shines brightly in these brief video snippets.

"Think of these as video postcards that say 'wish you were here.'"

• Part 2 - ADETA keynote. The nine concepts of digital literacy, and how to apply them to teaching and learning.
• Part 3 - ADETA keynote. Listen to Jason tell a story, explain how stories work and how we can use storytelling and new media narrative in education.
