A special thanks to all who joined us today for the March Mini-Unconfererence today – especially to our facilitators who all did a stellar job.
Annabel and Konrad gave a great update on the Virtual Classroom Project and how it is developing. I’m really excited to see the careful design of learning activities going on in the project and am really looking forward to watching it continue to evolve.

Our second session, which focussed on Web Video was delivered by Skribe Forti, and was fantastic as well. I particularly liked the videos he selected to demostrate the message – all brilliant in various ways.
You can view Skribe’s resources below, (with cool embedded videos via Slideshare!) and I’ve included links to the videos he shared as well.
