This is the digital world. It allows me to be at home with my kids and still being in two other different spaces in different corners of the world with different groups I’m part of. And I’m just talking about UStream, didn’t even mention Twitter, blogging… Learning in a speed faster than light. It’s a quantic perspective of learning through the use of social media. Do I need to say something else?

Here’s Cheryl Oakes’s notes of the Edubloggercon East get-together.
Just came back from Martha’s Vineyard and was pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness of using a mobile, taking photos and posting them straight to Posterous. It was simply incredible, mobile, capturing the exact moment and thought. I could post as I had fun. I didn’t postpone it from when I got back from the trip or didn’t have to write anything to remember. Just flashes from my mind and camera.

Of course, Posterous lacks tags. I wonder if it is tracked in Technorati, for example. I’ll investigate that. Even so, it has RSS feeds and it’s a simple way to engage educators who have no clue where to get started and need something simple, efficient, and fast to be encouraged to take blogging seriously.
Here are the posts that make my first travel log in Posterous. Promising. I can think of many possibilities for a conference, the classroom and personal endeavors.

I just tested Posterous. I heard about it from Ana Maria Menezes, but haven’t tried it before. Today, after Bee’s comment on the post about Google Docs and live blogging, I thought I’d test Posterous to see if it could be another option for educators attending a conference who have never blogged before. There are tons of options out there.
What I liked about posterous is that to start blogging, I didn’t have to set up anything. I just wrote a very simple post in my email, attached a photo, sent to post at posterous.com and this is the result:

Immediately after I sent the email, I got an email back with my first post and some editing options. I thought it would be a very, very simple way to get started. What do you think?

Now that BrazTESOL is about to start, and I won’t be there physically to attend presentations, I thought it would be appropriate to share with you what I just read. Interesting way to take notes during a presentation and share it with the world using Google Docs and live blogging.
I’d love to hear from you if you test it.
