Thanks Gwen! Thanks Christina!

One of the coolest things about Web 2.0 / Library 2.0 / Learning 2.0 is that by being connected to others in this manner, we learn from each other's knowledge and experience. I was reading Gwen's blog and saw that Christina had commented about finding a great video explanation of del.icio.us and social bookmarking AND Christina had made a link on her blog to the video !!!

I tracked the source back to http://www.commoncraft.com/show which is by a fellow named Lee LeFever. The video explanations use paper cut-outs to explain Web 2.0 concepts! You can watch them on the commoncraft site. They are also available on Youtube and are embedded as youtube videos on many other sites (including the site that Christina explored).

I can see utilizing these video explanations with our students. (I just looked up at my blogger screen and saw a brand new button - add video. Serendipity is wonderful!)
