A wonderful webcast with Stephen Downes and Will Richardson

Dear All,

This was an exciting Sunday morning for me and many other webheads around the world. After our usual meeting at Tapped In, we headed to WorldBridges, which is becoming a routine every Sunday, too. But this time, Jeff and Dave had a great surprise for all of us, a live webcast with Stephen Downes and Will Richardson. I first heard of Stephen Downes back in 2002 while attending the Networking 2002 conference in Australia where some Webheads presented with Michael Coghlan about Croscultural communication (Btw, the icon I use on this blog won me a prize at this conference, a nice book on graphic organizers which was sent to me to Spain where I lived in those times). Stephen was the reporter of the event in his "Networking daily  overview". Since that time I have followed his wise comments about technology on his web page where he keeps a record of his talks, articles, links, etc.

I learned about Will Richardson for the first time, at the EVOnline session on Blogging in Jan. 2005 moderated by Aaron Campbell, Barbara Dieu and Graham Stanley. They had several guest speaker talk about setting blogs and how to use them in education. One of these guests was Will Richardson who gave at talk at Learning Times on RSS: Rss: The New Killer Appl for Educators. If you want to learn about RSS do not miss this talk (you need to be a member of LT to access the recording of the session - free membership).

Well, today we had the opportunity to listen to an enlightening interview with them, while chatting with other colleagues at WorldBridges:

Do not miss the recording which will be available very soon.
