Deze namiddag woonde ik een seminarie bij over het gebruik van MS Sharepoint voor kennismanagement doeleinden.
Bij het einde van de namiddag nodigde de organisator ons uit op een drink in de bar van het hotel, waar het seminarie plaatsvond.
De spreker eindigde dan ook als volgt: ... en dan kunnen we nog napraten aan de bar, daar zijn we nog weL effe.
Een leuke woordspeling ;-)

Does one size fits all?
A blogpost of Dave Snowden about WEB2.0 tools and the danger of going for a "one-size fits all" solution like Sharepoint is.
He pleads for "contextually appropriate solutions" !

Twitter-tags (or hashtags), what do they mean?
When starting to use Twitter, you often see a lot of Tweets that contain acronyms starting with a "#".
These are called hashtags ... this site allows users to explain their meaning.
Anybody can define his own hashtag, and as such, this site becomes a dictionary of hashtags.
The nifty thing about these hashtags is that:
1/ they are short (remember, Twitter only allows for 140 characters in a single message),
2/ they are easily searchable (check the Twitter search engine, that allows you to "save" your search as an RSS feed ... nice): if you want to keep track of Tweets about knowledge management, want do you need to search for ? "KM", or "knowledge management", or still some other name? No, just search for "#KM", the hashtag generally used to "tag" Tweets about knowledge management.

Vergroot wiki adoptie - Frankwatching
Vergroot wiki adoptie - Frankwatching, is a Dutch blogpost from Lex Slaghuis describing some thoughts on improving the adoption of a WIKI in a business environment.
At a certain point, he brings in Sharepoint, and he doubts the capabilities of Sharepoint's WIKI implementation.

Dial2Do - a Great Voice Recorder !!!
I don't remember who pointed me to this site .... but I was looking for this already quite some time: a service where I can dial to, which records my voice message, and which sends the voice message back to me!
I have been using drop.io for quite some time (works nice, but you need to dial to a USA phone number !!!) (drop.io is really much more than a voice recorder .... it is an online storage place which is extremely easy to set-up and use !)
The advantage of Dial2Do is that it has an access point in Brussels.
drop.io drops your voice message into your RSS reader (it generates an RSS feed to the drop.io site), while Dial2Do notifies you with an email (the voice message is not attached to the email: you get a link to their site).
The way Dial2Do works: you register on Dial2Do (user-id, email address AND telephone number), and then you can dial the Brussels telephone number, Dial2Do recognizes your telephone number (Caller-ID should be on !!!), asks what you want to do, you say "reminder", the system acknowledges ... and off you go: you record your voice message, you disconnect, and the message is sent to your email address!
Quickly and easy: no voice recorder to drag along ... just your good old mobile phone (SPOI: Single Point of Interface?)
Do note that Dial2Do also let's you send text messages, and emails (I however did not yet try it out, so I cannot tell how well it works ... these options heavily rely on transcription)
Nice and free software !

"Nonkel" Frans is er niet meer.
"Nonkel" Frans is eigenlijk geen familie, maar een buurman (een overbuur, slechts 100m van ons verwijderd).
"Nonkel" Frans is wel familie van vrienden van ons, en zo spreken ook wij sinds jaren over "Nonkel" Frans.
"Nonkel" Frans was een bijzonder sociaal man: iedere zaterdagmorgen waste hij zijn auto, en dan kon je er op aan dat ie een praatje met je maakte als je de deur opendeed.
Ook als ik een klus moest doen aan mijn voorgevel, kwam "Nonkel" Frans een praatje maken ... over koetjes en kalfjes, maar nooit vervelend.
"Nonkel" Frans zal zijn auto niet meer wassen, en mijn klusjes vooraan zullen niet meer opgeluisterd worden door een kwinkslag van hem.
"Nonkel" Frans was een minzaam man: wij wisten niets van de ziekte die aan hem vrat.
In een nokvolle kerk hebben we zaterdagmorgen afscheid genomen van "Nonkel" Frans: hij heeft de strijdbijl begraven.
Frans, buurman, bedankt voor meer dan 20 jaren nabuurschap!

History of the Internet: Using Design to Tell a Story of Data
I discovered this gem on the blog of Stewart Mader.
Alhtough the content is also quite good, I like this movie still more as a good example of visualisation: this is an animation with a very limited and standardized number of graphical elements !

This Will Be Big in 2009 - Web 2.0 Storytelling
From a blogpost at Design of Knowledge: I think that Bill Brantley is right!
Storytelling is a great way to teach, and WEB2.0 tools are a great way to collaborate.
The two together could indeed spark some interesting new ways of doing things?
Because, on lots of occasions, we see stories happening, but we lack the time to "freeze" them (and then, a no-nonsense camera like this one or one of these can do miracles in capturing what happens at that very moment).
On storytelling: check point 7 of this post:
7) Know why--and how--good stories work.
Consider the learner to be on a kind of hero's journey. If Frodo is your student, and you're Gandalf... learn as much as you can about storytelling and entertainment. Learn what screenwriters and novelists learn. Know what "show don't tell" really means, and understand how to apply it to learning.
Humans spent thousands upon thousands of years developing/evolving the ability to learn through stories. Our brains are tuned for it. Our brains are not tuned for sitting in a classroom listening passively to a lecture of facts, or reading pages of text facts. Somehow we manage to learn in spite of the poor learning delivery most of us get in traditional schools and training programs (and books).
