Most definitely, albeit very confronting. But this is not a bad thing - as we discussed on Friday night, the company I work for has become very complacent when it comes to e-learning and we need to rediscover what is out there and how it might be used to maximise our efforts. Until you have tried something you <a href="http://lance.edublogs.org/2007/10/20/round-2-from-3rd-oct-2007/" rel="nofollow">really aren’t in a position to discount it</a>. Thanks for the opportunity (not something I would have tried on my own). Hmmm a trip to Perth? Have been trying to convince the boss that this is a must for a while - now have added ammunition. Can’t be a bad thing! :) Hi Sue

Don’t get me wrong - the ustream broadcast was a valuable experience (and I’m glad that it wasn’t as bad as I felt it to be). I think the issue really lies in comfort. As it was a first for me, I really felt a sense of dislocation - and you are extremely generous with the “slightly reserved” description. :) Cheers Lance. Hi Simon

I think the thing is I have now become so used to all of this that I just get on with it. When i was first learnt to podcast we were given headsets and told to talk into the computer. I just could not do it - I felt so intimidated by the entire concept. Absolutely horrible listening to your own voice - so agree looking at video of yourself is even worse. The good aspect of extending ourselves is to remember how confronting we feel when we do this - so that we can relate to how our learners might feel. Now I just need you to fly to Perth for the next episode? Perhaps Simon can also fly over? Glad the other bloggers popped past to say hi. But it was fun though?

I really enjoyed the show last night - you definitely didn't look silly, as I commented during the session, it was good to have two presenters especially with Sue talkative and you slightly reserved. I think you've hit on a winning formula where an active presenter has a human presence to act as a foil. It was my first time having a play after Alan Levine's presentations in Sydney, and a brief session with Brian and Wendy Smith (couldn't get my audio working). Thanks to you and Sue for the opportunity to explore this application in a fun way, although I could understand if you initially felt awkward. The Twitter shout out was a good way to get a few people together at short notice. After my online adventures at Mlearn2007 and Alan Levine's presentations, I've invited my network friends in Qld to Twitter - hopefully we can start using it at the same level as others in the south and west of Australia.
