At this moment I’m admiring photos posted by Vance and aggregated in technorati for the WorldCall08 Conference in Japan.
Vance among the bright WebheadWomen is a sample of our spirit and the cultural diversity and connections only possible by such an inspiring Community For Practice and People.
Have fun, guys!
If you wonder who’s in the photo, here it goes:
Jen Verschoor (Argentina), Nina (Ukraine), Susan Marandi (Iran), Nelba (Argentina), Bobby (UAE), Vance (UAE), Evelyn (Venezuela), Nenny (Indonesia), Erika (Brazil) and Hala (Sudan).

Being at Two, Three Spaces at the Same Time?

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?

Posterous – Blogging Made Simple

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?

Live Blogging with Google Docs

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.
