InteracOve video content for PowerPoint (voice, video, digital ink) is now available as a free Microso@ plugin … “My ‘new kid on the block’ this year. Why would you invest in expensive and complicated authoring tools if you just want to ‘convert your PowerPoint to e-‐learning’ (even if that’s not always a good idea)?” Jan Van Belle

(6) Professional networking sJll leads the way “I have learned more in my professional life through TwiKer in the past six-‐and-‐a-‐half years than in the previous 30 years. For me TwiKer gives access to smart people who provide an enormous wealth of informaOon and insight through their commentary and links to research, arOcles and other resources.” Charles Jennings Having a Personal or Professional Learning Network (PLN) is now seen as essenOal aspect of learning in today’s world

(7) Ad hoc problem solving remains vital People conOnue to do their own thing – it is easier and quicker and they ﬁnd what they want in the format that suits them

(8) Sharing is the new saving! everything is shareable -‐ whether it be personal notebooks … blog and web feeds that you subscribe to .. as well as stuﬀ you save to read later.

PosOng or pinning images has become very popular – far more so than tradiOonal social bookmarking.
