Twemes means memes

We have been enjoying using the Twemes (Twitter Memes) application here in Salzburg these last two days. Although the wireless network connections have been playing some games with us, several of us here at Edumedia have been able to Twitter and then direct our tweets to Twemes where they are aggregated in with a stream of images (Flickr) and tags (Delicious) from the conference. Anything on these tools that is tagged with #edumedia08 is fed directly into Twemes. Pictured are Graham and I, with me in full flow talking about some research I have done on blogs and wikis for nomadic learners (Picture taken by David Roethler and uploaded direct to Flickr via Shozu).

Graham Attwell, Veronica Hornung-Praser and I have just done a session on mobile self organised learning which will be podcast by Graham via his Bazaar webcasting service later this week. The weather is a little cooler today, but the discussion is just as hot, centred upon self organised learning and social software. This morning, in our first session, we enjoyed two hours of World Cafe discussion, where the white table cloth became our notepad and where the groups constantly rotated around the room discussion key issues. A fabulous idea in every way!
