Web 2.0 and Your Own Learning and Development
Stephen Downes, Google Video, June 18, 2007.

Today's newsletter is a bit late because - once again - a video project ran away with my time. This time, it was the content for a talk I'm giving to the British Council tomorrow. The audience will see the video in the morning, and then chat with me by Skype in the afternoon. I had really wanted the video to be more - I made it using Camtasia (my first with that software) and I wanted to add screencasts showing the Web 2.0 tools being used. But the audio track was attached to the PIP, which meant I couldn't cut from the webcam video to the screencam without losing my soundtrack - sure, it could be fixed, but not in the time I had. But I'll get better at this. I am also scheduled to appear at an event in Second Life tomorrow - here is the SLURL (SLURL stands for Second Life URL).

Hi Stephen,
Thank you very much for preparing this special video for our conference yesterday. Your participation with us in this form, supplemented later in the day with skype + phone interaction was much appreciated, and gave many in the audience some very interesting and new insights.
I do hope that we can work together with you again in the future.

A curiosity: where did you drive out all those amazing "soviet" vignettes? [Comment] [Permalink] [Previous][Next]

> where did you drive out all those amazing "soviet" vignettes

I made them myself from old Soviet propaganda posters. See http://images.google.com/images?q=soviet+propaganda+posters

I plan to make more, eventually. My collection is on Flickr.

Screencasting is definitely a black hole! You get faster and better. I put together all of my learnings about this - plus camtasia resources here:

I'm going to add this to my list of examples
