Learning Technology 2008 on YouTube

Here’s a slimmed-down version of the video of Learning Technologies 2008. Five minutes: less is more.

Congratulations to Laura Overton (above). When Laura married, she retained her maiden name, thereby avoiding taking on the initials LMS.

Glad you were able to make something like sense out of what seemed to me to be my wild-eyed fulminations at the time!

Isn’t user-created content just the bees knees?

Cool, Jay. And I got to hear Karyn’s voice, too :-)

You’re becoming quite the videographer!

Using video to communicate is one of this year’s hobbies. I should have tried this earlier. It’s loads of fun. And I have so much to learn, it’s challenging, too.

Jay,
LAME! This shows a few things:
1) Usual clique - your days will soon be numbered, there are new kids on the block to knock the old duffers out!
2) You are weak at generating content yourself - all talk, little action, and utterly dull. You’d DIE ON YOUR FEET if you didn’t simply pick up and follow the latest ‘thing’, and then pass off as your own. Never seen so much dross. Why do people rate you?
3) The e-l gurus have a feel of southern evangelsists, after your ‘faith’ - I don’t see no miracle men!

Viva the New Order!!!

Thanks for sharing. :-)

Please rearrange the following words to make a sentence: up, fuck, the, shut.

Erm? Is it:

SHUT UP! - The Fuck

Hi Jay - The short video was terrific. Which tools did you use to create it? And what music is playing in the background? I loved the music too.

#11 Jay Cross on 02.14.08 at 10:54 pm

Thanks, Stephanie. I shot the video clips with my Casio EXILIM pocket camera. I edited with iMovie on the Mac. I am just learning how to do this: come back in three months.

If I remember correctly, the music was Zydeco Gris-Gris, played by Coteau.

Nice to see LMAO putting the cat amongst it and Jay taking no prisoners (ding a ling a ling!!!) :-)

LMAO - I’m all in favour of debate. So are you, apparently, so why the anonymity? Come out from behind your mask and let’s discuss things in a grown up way. I’d be interested to see if you have anything interesting to say beyond personal abuse.

As chairman of the conference, I want to put on record that I was very happy with what Jay brought to the conference both in his opening keynote, and in his contribution to the networking and discussion over the two days that followed.

Here are just four of the comments that his keynote at the conference generated:

“Jay’s a great presenter with insightful content.”
“Thoughtful and thought-provoking.”
“A good start to the conference.”
“Very engaging.”

LMAO, maybe you have something to add to the Learning and Development profession, but you do yourself and your ‘New Order’ no favours by name calling from the safety of anonymity.

So, please, tell us who you are, and let’s start talking about real issues.

I hadn’t spotted the follow-on comments to this until directed here by Don’s post today. Rats! What’s the point of having a Co-Comment account if it doesn’t keep one up to date? Grumble, grumble.

I’d be only too pleased if I saw any evidence of LMAO’s new order actually taking the bull by the horns (or any other body part, for that matter) and driving things forward. Sadly, it seems to be left to a handful of us “old duffers” to provide the energy and the passion. What a pity he/she doesn’t have sufficient courage of his/her convictions to come out from behind the cover of anonymity.

And (if I’m right in estimating that you have a few years on me) I hope I still have your drive in a few years’ time!
