Stephen Downes

This is pretty cool. I was reviewing items for inclusion in today's newsletter and found myself right in the middle of the Oklahoma State Superintendent's Dropout Summit, watching someone presenting from a flipchart at the front of the room. In real time (sadly, most people will only see this after the fact, and miss the effect). There's also a 'Cover It Live' box on the blog post, an interface I really don't like at all (though I like the concept, and it let me catch up from the first half of the meeting). I think Wes Fryer should use his caps lock key less often. ;) This is all still pretty awkward, but there's so much potential here to really plug people in to a wide variety of events and meetings on the fly.
