I am writing a paper for a workshop at the Flexible Learning conference that I am running next week here at Heriot-Watt. I am working on the paper together with a 3rd year student, and lo and behold, we don't just talk about Web 2.0 tools, we have been using them while preparing the talk.While Google Docs & Spreadsheets is great for Excel and okay for Word it doesn't work with PowerPoint.

I am discovering more and more facsinating tools that appear to be puerly social ones, but then I think, what does that mean? Social? isn't learning a social activity? Surely, we all know that it is.Netvibes is the latest tool that I have wholeheartedly embraced. It's a portal and this means that I don't even need to open all those tabsin Firefox anymore. It also makes me smile wrily, because of

http://blog.flickr.com/flickrblog/2007/04/its_coming_24_h.htmlWhat an utterly fascinating event. On 5th May people around the world photograph their lives, to share the images of their day with the community.Now, if we could have such a day across Universities of the world, sharing the curriculum. Wouldn't it be fascinating to see how the different countries teach the same subject?

I really do feel naive sometimes. I thought viral marketing was a nasty conniving scheme and what do I realise by chatting to an expert and having a quick gander on Wikipedia?It's a big market.GoViral for example.

Or would that be a very washed-out echo of Michael Wesch's brilliant video The machine is us/ing us?Anyway, I shall talk about things that I discover along the journey out of the box - the VLE box in Higher Education.Today I uploaded my first Excel sheet to be collaborated on with a friend and colleague. I am frankly amazed at what is possible, in a "kid in sweetie store" kind of way, and I'm not
