They are already back talking and working on it / finding a way through it - perhaps via a 3rd party app.

A great presentation by my friend Ruben Puentedura with his notion of a 'Lively Sketchbook', reviewing apps useful in education.

Would also like to see this expanded to more than one technology provider. Other companies following suit e.g. Blackberry's PlayPad

Obviously geared at the busines market, but if it takes hold there, it is likely to be even more compelling for experimentation/adoption with xPads/Tablets in education.

Just dropping a quick note to say I really enjoyed watching all three videos posted so far. I have a couple of questions that may have got answered on your flashmeeting (sorry but I can never attend the meetings as they are 2am in my time zone).

1. How did you find it making the videos? the emotional / psychological, not the technical so much although obviously there is overlap.

2. Have you ever got students/participants to do this as well? What was their reaction to creating them and to viewing their peers? Were they also posted in the open web or under restricted access?

Would there be any traction in Canada with doing this at the Provincial level first? Could you get universities within a Province to do something and then maybe see about national later if these turn out to be so similar that it becomes a logical step?
