I gave a session at the IL-TCE conference at the end of last month (that seems so long ago!) on "Building Your Professional Development Network" using Web 2.0 tools. A couple of days before the conference I "Skyped" Darren Draper in Utah and asked if he had a video that I could show on the "open professional development" program that he and Robin Ellis had created. This is a project that uses the "open" tools of the web to teach the open tools of the web, and I felt it would be a great way to showcase the opportunities of Web 2.0.
Darren did not have a video, but he promised to put one together in the next day for me to show--since he felt it would be a good thing to have just in general. The following video is what Darren produced, and their was an audible gasp from the audience when, after showing it, I told them it had been recorded and produced in just one day. Once again, Darren and his cohorts provide a great model for the positive potential of these tools.

David Thornburg and Humorous Video
David Thornburg did his usual stellar job speaking in the Open Source Pavilion at the CUE conference last week, and before he started he showed the following video and talked about how it can correspond to the unwillingness to use Free and Open Source software when someone else has conditioned you to rely on them for everything... :) He said the video makes him uncomfortable to watch. Not me--for me it's laugh-out-loud funny!
