Jeff did a wonderful job of not only explaining the use of Web 2.0 tools such as Ning communities, Skype and Twitter, but he modeled effective use of these tools. I have already passed this link to several colleagues!

Nice job!

I was so happy that I watched Jeff’s presentation. It was like sitting at his desk and having a personal training session. He showed us what his personal network and community can do for him and in turn for us. I’m so glad these presentations are not just one time events in a room. This is a presentation I plan on pointing out to many people.

Great presentation. I need to get my district IT people on board. According to them they are supposed to support professional development yet most of the feeds on my pageflakes are blocked by filters because they are recognized as a “blog” or a “newsgroup”.
I had received an error when I followed the link for the “original” presentation. I changed the .m4v extension to .mp4 and found the file.

Very natural and effective presentation style.

Thank you everyone for the comments. I’m glad you felt the presentation was worth your time.

Not only was it worth my time, but I had several aha moments and I now can go forth with my k12teachers with web 2.0 goods! Thank you for sharing from Shanghai!!

Jeff, fantastic presentation! I loved many parts of it, but a couple really stood out for me:

the distinction you drew between communities and personal networks is so important, and it will be mighty interesting to see where they end up relative to each other in the near future.

your on the fly conversations with Brian and Dean were just super. There can be no better testimony to the power we now have at our fingertips. Thanks for this! – Mark

Jeff,

Good use of your personal learning network! I liked learning about the Dunbar Number.

Thank you!

Jeff,

I really enjoyed how your modeled how you connect with your network and which tools you find to be most effective. I particularly liked how you delineated the difference between a network and community.
