Video Conversation in Seesmic

I happened to check in on Alexandra Pickett in Twitter today during her presentation at Sloan-C Internation Symsposium on Emerging Technologies in Online Learning in San Francisco, California (lucky Alex!). She requested we join Seesmic to help her with her demonstation. Here's my response to her: http://seesmic.com/videos/g0numgCKFQ

Seesmic is a place on the web where you can communicate through video conversation. It’s fairly easy. You can record a video directly from Seesmic, or from your mobile phone. You can also upload an existing video straight from your computer. Use any of these methods to start a conversation.

I did finally figure out how to get the video to save, but I am not sure why I couldn't get it to upload the first four times. Also you can send your video straight to Twitter, which I did, but no reply from Alex yet. You do have to join before you can use the application but it is free.


My View for Educational Use

I see this as a wonderful tool to be able to connect personally with faculty, students or even parents at a distance, to perhaps share a new idea or to explain a difficult concept.
