Streaming video from some sessions is available at ustream; more will be online soon.
We're kicking off the planning for Northern Voice in May 2011, and we want YOU!

David Ng describes Phylo, a cool trading card game to teach biodiversity. A study showed that children could easily identify and describe a large number of Pokemon characters, yet knew very little about the real world of plants and animals all around them.
