April's Big Question from Learning Circuits is "How to Keep up?" This is in reference the immense and rapidly expanding technology tools. It is tough to stay on top of all the emerging tools. However, being involved in an e-learning community is a big help. For me it is a blog community and following many experts on Twitter. Not only am I often made aware of new tools, but also get opinions, tips, and examples of their use. MORE

Livecasting – USTREAM. If you haven’t been looking at LMS/LCMS solutions lately or if you have, you may be noticing a trend - social media. Of course, many vendors like to pitch it as “Web 2.0″ ″ Personally, I hate that term, because it implies too little in terms of what is available now and what are the possibilities of tomorrow. Worse yet, when “Web 3.0″ ″ truly hits the masses, what are they going to do? Stay and say, “Web 2.0″? MORE

They used UStream for the audio, in addition to the typical phone line. I know I’m a little late to the party, but this is actually the first time I’ve used UStream. I’m liveblogging the webinar Growing in a Down Market with PBwiki. My comments are in italics. Presenter: Teo Mayes, CTO RMC Vanguard. So far, so good! RMC Vanguard is a mortgage company–able to do major increases in their business even with the economy not good for mortgage companies right now. MORE

Half an hour later I'd sketched out a general approach to my session, a way to structure it, questions to ask during it, and tools to support it (I forgot about Ustream TV, and didn't think to ask people to put their Twitter handles on their name badges.). Every Thursday evening there's a great fun live gathering on Twitter called #lrnchat. MORE

Break for Will to reboot–apparently we crashed Ustream. I was very fortunate this morning to see that Will Richardson had rescheduled his live interview with Clay Shirky on U-Stream. Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach was the chat moderator. Video recording is available now ( Part 1 and Part 2 ); I think the backchannel chat will also be available somewhere. I’ll update the link later. Update : Here’s the chat transcript.). MORE

I just tried out Ustream and it works GREAT. This is a quick blog post via iPhone. It seemed like a good thing to do since I wanted to point out 2 new apps. Ustream.tv and WebEx These 2 apps alone take mobile learning to a whole new level. It's only on wifi right now but that's okay. I haven't tried WebEx yet but I thought it was worth noting in the hopes that adobe was reading this and ready to introduce the Connect for iPhone app. MORE

So, go figure. I just post about Teachertube and then see this post (via lifehacker ), and hear Leo Leporte is using it for TWIT. It's USTREAM.tv ! Anyone with a webcam can get their feed sent live to a web page. This is cool and has incredible learning potential! Don't you think? I'm checking with them now to see if I can get this up and running for my daughter's Alcatraz swim this week MORE

Ustream. Jane Hart recently put out a list of the 25 (free) tools every learning professional should have in their toolbox. The list contains everything from development to time management tools. I’ve used two-thirds of the tools and I can vouch for their usefulness. MORE

Livecasting – USTREAM. Social media types with examples. New social media types are being created, identified and defined constantly.
