It was great to have Jeremy and Oliver join us and to explore this "new frontier" for "information-communication technology" (ICT)-based education.

The real fun came when we dropped in on Oliver's class at Harvard following the show. Full credit to Harvard for making all content available to anyone with a 'net connection.

A discussion with Richard Kassissieh about community portals and open source software. Richard discussed how to build, encourage use, and grow school community web sites.

We were joined by "usual suspects" Jeff Flynn and Paul Ellerman; and first-timer, and colleague of mine from the "real world," Martin Buck for the show. Topics of conversation included:

• Moodle Server Documentation
• Service Learning
• Everett Rogers
• Stumbleupon
• pellermanlearning
• Worldbridges
• Webcastathon -- right here between the 13th and 15th of October, 2006

Thanks to all who participated in the Skype conference, and to those who listened on the stream and joined us in the chat room.

A conversation with Dave Cormier, Jeff Flynn, Paul Ellerman and Jennifer Wagner in which we discuss Drupal, Elgg and Moodle.
