At a good conference ADELTA

So I'm down in Edmonton for a few days at a distributed learning conference. It's going very well. The current speaker: George Siemens (http://www.elearnspace.org/blog/) is doing a great job bringing us into the "Know" of technology and how this is changing.

What allows the current students to participate now? In this technological society? So many schools are blocking these tools instead of embracing. Full presentation here: (http://www.slideshare.net/gsiemens/living-learning-communicating-in-an-immediate-world)

Ok, but some immediately cool things I'm checking out are:
