Putting things in perspective…Shift Happens UK version
Milo Plurnbottom about 1 year ago

I just posted an article about (with the video) Shift happens and it’s original PowerPoint presentation by Karl Fisch , director of Technology for Arapahoe High School in Centennial, Colorado. While researching that post I stumbled on a slightly more global version of the original video which I’ve embedded here.
This UK version is a testament to how many people have been affected in one way or another by the thoughts presented. How this British incarnation of Shift Happens came to be can found in the more info from it’s home at YouTube:
Karl Fisch, of Arapahoe High School in the US, conceived and created the first version of this presentation for a staff development day. And published it on the web via his website. He released it and gave permission for others to modify it under a Creative Commons licence.
Scott McLeod modified it, to make it more relevant to an audience in a wider context. And published it on the web with a Creative Commons licence. After conversations with Karl & Scott, I modified Scott’s version to include UK-relevant content (it was quite US-centric). And then Jeff Brenman, of Apollo Ideas, applied the creative design to Scott’s version. And published it on the web via SlideShare where, incidentally, it won the competition for the “World’s Best Slideshow”
And finally, with Jeff’s permission, Ray Flemming modified his with the UK context. And published it on the web
Take what you will from the presentation. Karl Fisch discusses the video in much greater detail on his staff development blog, The Fisch Bowl and you can read a quick history and some of his comments as well as my own humble commentary in this CoTradeCo Post
