George Siemens (Associate Director of the University of Manitoba Learning Technologies Centre) was on campus on March 11 to give a presentation at the Teaching & Learning Centre, on “The Social Technology Revolution – Tensions and Solutions”. He talked about a pretty wide range of things, and I wanted to capture some of the links he mentioned.

(ok – George didn’t talk about this, but I had to sneak it in anyway…)
