There are about 50 of us sitting in a live session with Wil Richardson here in London this morning, and the whole thing is being broadcast on Ustreeam. If you are online right now, you can follow along in near-real time...

I must admit that up until a few minutes ago, I never really "got" twitter. I mean, I knew what it was, but never found anything that drew me to it for more than curiosity.

Last week Will Richardson's workshop convinced me to give it a real go, and then a few minutes ago, a harmless post by glassbeed (a.k.a. Clarence Fisher) really got my curiosity running.

He asked simply... 

Always challenged by a good question, I turned up 3 new web sites that really shook things up for me:

http://Twittervision.com
http://flickrvision.com/

3 sites that I would never have otherwise drifted upon that on your very first visit make you realize how connected we are, and how small the world is. The power of learning networks (like twitter, or commun-IT.org for that matter) to help shape new questions and curiosity is simply amazing.

Thanks, Clarence.

Marilyn Legault (from Hamilton Wentworth DSB) shared this greatoverview of Adobe Presenter...

Happy-last-week-before-the-holidays-to-all!

I created a Presenter presentation on 'Using Presenter', that I shared with the COCA folks...perhaps you'll find it useful as well. It doesn't explain every feature of Presenter, but should be enough to get you going if you haven't used it much...please share as needed.

It's available at: http://breeze.hwdsb.on.ca/usingpresenter

I can't get enough of good technology, that is affordable, and changes the way we interact with computers...
