Composing a TweetBook for DevLearn 2009
A while ago a Twitter project from another conference was tweeted by Mark Oehlert about a compilation of all the tweets that came out from conference attendees in to one digital book. The conference had well over 4000 tweets posted during it’s run. Thinking this was a really intriguing idea and an incredible challenge I […]
Using #lrnchat as an example of the benefits of an online social group

What Makes Great eLearning?

Great Day One at AG09

B.J. Schone is a Twitter Star!!!
Well if you haven’t heard of Twitter yet you should maybe take a look at it. If you use Facebook already, it’s an application just like the status updates you enter on Facebook. The term is microblogging. It’s a quick 160 character message about what you are doing now. The messages can be as simple […]
Twitter and Second Life – 2 things I’m still figuring out
Just a quick note on some things I still haven’t got the whole point of yet. Twitter – so I’m signed up and I’m following a few people. It took me some time to get connected to updates through my phone. I found out that it was a Canadian thing related to the number I […]
