Australian College of Midwives National Conference 2009

I am off to Adelaide this afternoon for the Australian College of Midwives Conference. I am running a workshop with Deborah Davis, presenting our experiences with the Second Life Education New Zealand virtual birthing unit project.

Our session is the last session of the three day conference, on Friday afternoon... so we're guessing that we won't have a large audience. But just in case we run out of handouts, here are the links that we will be talking about.
