Slightly more geekspeak than I’m comfortable in this video, but interesting idea as to how augmented reality is really developing.. with an interview from ‘The Future Web’ in Amsterdam earlier this month.

Engaging, educational apps, on a lightweight moveable tool… can be used across the age-groups. Learning anytime, anywhere…

Interesting interview with Henry Jenkins, from edutopia. He debunks the idea of digital natives/immigrants, and says that students/staff are brought together in strong communities around passions.

Another interesting and thought-provoking video from RSA.

The other week, I joined WINOL (the University of Winchester TV Channel) for a discussion on social media (I’ve just tracked down the footage!). Some intelligent debate (if I say so myself)… but, ah, time to get fit again!!

What do you think about the topics for debate?

I still regularly hear that people fall for these scams, and this video, although a couple of years old, is still highly relevant. If you’re not sure if it’s from your bank.. check this video!

Finally – social media has overtaken pornography as the No 1 user of the web… Updated May 2010 to include the newer social networks – fascinating facts!

What about returns on investment?

An interesting experiment in using Twitter with a class of 50 history students. The best comment on the YouTube video: “Education isn’t a product/service like milk or car repair. What you are paying for is the opportunity to apprentice with someone who knows a lot more than you. What you get out of it depends upon what you put into it.”

This is quite an old video, but very funny, and immediately recognisable for anyone who’s bumped their way around Second Life!
