It was not long ago that producing multimedia digital content required expensive equipment and technical expertise. We are at the point now where we can do some very compelling content creation with nothing more complex than a Web browser. Upon seeing a number of these tools appear last summer, such as Slideshare and VoiceThreads, I began to wonder how many of them were actually viable. The answer astounded me, as there are more than 50!

How do we deal with the never ending onslaught of new technology, how can we face this brave new world without a sense of dread? "Keeping up" is a myth, and the way of dealing with this is creating, sustaining, and being in your extended networks of friends, colleagues, etc. Likewise, one cannot readily assess the value of new technology from the outside "looking in". This presentation will lead you through a range of examples of ways to practice more "being there-ness." This session is meant to be provocative, challenging, but also inspire excitement over "web 2.0 stuff" Sat, 23 Feb 2008 13:30:00 -0700 http://cogdogroo.wikispaces.com/50+Ways Northern Voice 2008. On a crazy whim, last summer I set out to find if there were fifty Web 2.0 tools (free ones) for creating and sharing multimedia stories -- and found there are more! To explore them, I created the same story in each. The tools themselves have been presented elsewhere; in this session I will highlight the most compelling ones that might be of interest to bloggers. In real time, the audience will also participate in creating one about Northern Voice.
