Here is a list of the sites I am using

The presentation is available on my public space on BoxNet as well as in the plugin in the left margin of this page (scroll down)

Educators won't be able to watch this video

The Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) has extended an invitation via YouTube http://youtube.com/futureinternet for people to ask questions and share ideas on the future of the Internet ahead of its conference in Seoul, Korea on 17-18 June 2008.

education.au CEO Greg Black has made the following submission of behalf of education.au. Titled Educators won't be able to watch this video, Greg poses a challenge to the conference delegates regarding the barriers teachers and students face in using web-based tools.

So you may not be able to see this video in your workplace.

Leave me a note to say where you watched it.
