Guest Speaker: Dr Barney Dalgarno
Barney is an Associate Professor in Education in the School of Education at Charles Sturt University – Wagga Campus.
Barney’s presentation focussed on the way that social networking technologies are changing the way we communicate, collaborate, and develop a sense of community. He outlined the technologies of Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, You Tube and Second Life. We discussed the positive and negative implications of these technologies.

Facts
• There are 140 million tweets per day
• There are 600 million active Facebook users, and 135 million page visitors per month
Barney also outlined how mobile devices like iPhones, iPads and so on are making us constantly connected to the internet and how this may impact on our conventional relationships.
Barney enjoyed the morning, and thought us to be a switched on group of people that must have some good conversations! I think we’d agree.
After the morning’s presentation we enthusiastically agreed that Donna create a Blog for Marrar Ag’n’Chat with all of us contributing (if we are taught how). This she has started at http://marraragnchat.blogspot.com/
