Please forgive me! Alex Will check out “Yugma Skype Edition?” and get back to you on it. Judy What can I say -- was pleased to interact. Would love feedback from Leigh but know he is really busy. David The session on Ustream in the pub was amazing. Still thinking about its uses in a classroom. Stephen Yes I can understand in your field maybe that is the case. I still feel that in our area blogs and twitter give us different dimensions. The biggest shame is the impact that twitter is having on people blogging. We need to remember that not all our readers are on twitter. Is twitter effecting your writing of posts? Laura It has been really pleasing see all you people based in the UK get involved with twitter. Love reading the twits from overnight on what you have been up to. Sarah I have similar issues with aquaculture as I do not connect with any other aquaculture educators using these tools but am with educators into Web2.0. Ok will post comments on midwife posts. Loved your first SlideCast - virtual clap on back! Rachel I am calling it my addiction--believe people may take away my PDA so I can focus when out! Jane Definitely-- loved reading your twits from the conference and being able to interact with all of you. Bonnie I love Darren's class -- don't stress. Sue Waters did not happen overnight -- this has been a long journey that is still learning. Blogs are definitely not stale and we are neglecting the people that need help by not blogging! Sorry I could not be at the class last week --- work got in the way. I am really enjoying the sessions. Hoping to wake up early this week so can attend.

I am calling it my addiction–believe people may take away my PDA so I can focus when out!

Jane

Bonnie
I love Darren’s class — don’t stress. Sue Waters did not happen overnight — this has been a long journey that is still learning. Blogs are definitely not stale and we are neglecting the people that need help by not blogging! Sorry I could not be at the class last week — work got in the way. I am really enjoying the sessions.

Being able to discuss a point made by a presenter as it was said, without bothering those around you is magic. We were able to debate, make fun, question and generally connect during the conference via twitter and it was the highlight of the conference for me. It was also fun having people chime in from all over the world, not just those who were sitting in the keynote with us. Twitter added a dimension to ULearn that I wasn’t expecting.

As a newbie, its taking me time to get my head around all these different concepts. I feel a bit like 'Jonny no-friend' at the moment, standing between communities yet not established in either. What I mean is: I haven't managed to find anyone in midwifery who uses these tools but midwifery is the community I strongly identify with. But I am not a member of the education community who use these tools - I think I'll have to mull over this on my blog. At the moment I am trying to make a slidecast but am struggling with the audio aspect and making a MP3 file on my computer. I have downloaded 'Audacity' as recommended by Leigh but haven't where to go from there. So thats my challenge for the weekend. BTW, I really welcome non-midwife comments on my blog. cheers Hi Sue, I have heard about Twitter but not looked at it yet.

It's great for throwing out questions to like minded people, and it helps me keep up to date with breaking nptech news and posts, and like you I learn so much more and connect in a way with others that I could never have done before (like you!) Agree totally with your remarks about conferences, one of its best uses for me stuck in the UK, when I can use streaming to watch and twitter to throw in questions to friends that attend.

I'm way behind and its gotten to the point now where i wont be able to catch up. But I check Twitter a couple of times a day to find out whats going on. Blogs are stale. Great for learning but not so great for finding out whats going on NOW. I’ve not been reading blogs for what… a month now? maybe more?
