What better kind of publisher could there be?! MIT Press publishes some neat books, and interviews the authors (podcasts) about their content. The site also has some links to some other good podcasts for the "techie in you". I've added the MIT Press Podcast to the Engineering Learning Wiki Podcast Section .

Great use of the Twitter stream! When I was sitting down with Brent Schlenker , he suggested that we should all be using Tweet Later to plan out our conference schedule and set up TweetLater to send messages to ourselves and to others about what we were planning to do.

But, in the short run, it might make sense to set up a similar kind of series of activities as listed above based on the conference program. Browse eLearning Content at www.

The growing footprint of the LMS into the ‘DIY’ space that is 2.0 is counter to the ideology behind edupunk , a term that surfaced in the past week or so, attributed to Jim Groom . I’m just getting up-to-speed on edupunk (it’s been morphing in my aggregator 10 days or so it’s like ANCIENT now) and thought I’d share my thoughts here because frankly, when I read Groom’s post about the same “vultures of capital” (LMS vendors) I’m writing about, I felt like a nasty old boil on the butt of an edupunk.

Sizing Shapes When you click on a shape, you get anchor points on the sides and in the corners. You can click and drag these anchors to resize your objects. Scale object: If you want to resize the image or object (and not mess up the aspect ratio), then press SHIFT and drag from the corners.... Go ahead, try it. Perfect circle or square: If you want a perfect circle or square, select the oval/rectangle object, press SHIFT and then drag the object onto the screen. Moving Shapes You can move shapes on the screen with the mouse or keyboard.

His examples include: Mainstream media -> YouTube Mainstream press -> Blogs Microsoft Office -> Office 2.0 It's easy for us to look at this and think about it as "those guys" being disrupted. But take a look at my post around eLearning 1.0 and eLearning 2.
