Response to Patricia

This article also makes me think about how this technology might change the way online courses are run. While some schools and universities in northern or more remote areas have access to video conferencing this type of everyday technology could really take online conferencing/courses to a new level.
The ability to hear and see who is talking, and presenting ideas and information, and to then to be able to instantly and verbally respond would be appealing for many students.
Perhaps this way online courses would cater to all types of learners.
Interesting article Patricia, I liked her comment that now all she needs to give a presentation anywhere in the world is "an internet connection, a laptop and her cellphone". Amazing isn't it, what a way to globally connect with people everywhere.
